Just now, my phone popped up a trade notification, and I thought I clicked the wrong screenshot... but it turned out I was actually wrong: I just wanted to gently test an order, but when I slammed the market price, the slippage woke me up immediately. Looking back, it’s not a matter of direction; I trusted the illusion of “seeing volume,” but the order book depth was as thin as paper. I even chased the order in two attempts, which exposed my rhythm to the market.

Later, when I checked the funding rate and open interest, I realized my emotions were already a bit tense at that point, yet I still forced the trade. Honestly, you should either use limit orders to slowly accumulate or test small orders first to see if you can buy in, instead of panic clicking when volatility kicks in with red dots. Recently, the main public chain is upgrading/maintaining, and everyone in the group is guessing whether the ecosystem will migrate. I actually don’t want to aggressively market buy during these nodes... better stay steady and avoid getting caught by my own quick fingers.
