Last night, for the third time I got the urge to trade, and I wanted to cash in while on-chain activity was heating up—but I got a **slippage lesson** right away. Seeing the pool depth looked decent, I placed a big order all at once; the execution price then shot up step by step, like toasting bread and forgetting to turn down the heat… In plain terms, it was just that I was too greedy with the timing. Later, when I looked back, I should have split it into a few trades and waited a bit—don’t end up competing with yourself for liquidity.

Recently, cross-chain bridges have been hacked, and oracles have also posted abnormal quotes. Everyone’s been shouting “wait for confirmation.” I used to think that was slow, but now I feel that going a little slower is worth it—at least don’t end up placing orders on behalf of the market when others are panicking. That’s it for now; today I’m turning the heat down one notch.
