I tried once to chase after a "seems very stable second chance" on the chain, and the result was pretty straightforward: I set the slippage casually, saw the green K and rushed in, at the moment the order went in, the depth was simply not enough, the transaction price was pushed out a bit, and then I added another cut to raise my cost… To put it simply, it’s not the wrong direction, but the order placement rhythm was too hurried.



Looking back, I now pay more attention to two things: whether the pool depth can actually absorb my order, whether the recent minutes’ trades are hollow, and whether splitting my orders into two or three parts would be better. Recently, everyone complains that miners/validators earn a lot, and that MEV front-running and unfair ordering are issues. I used to treat it as background noise, but now I truly feel: you think you're trading with the market, but in reality, you're competing with "who goes first and who goes later." Anyway, I’ll first lower my slippage, even if it means not executing, and I won’t keep paying this kind of tuition anymore.
