Last night I was planning to make a small profit, but a failed trade ended up grinding me into the ground... Honestly, I was just too impatient. Watching the candlestick shake, I chased after it without checking the depth first, and I didn't set the slippage properly. When I hit market price, the execution price just "drifted" to a place I didn't recognize.
Later, upon review, I realized: the order book was so thin at that moment, I was chasing in two separate attempts. The more impatient I was, the easier it was to suffer losses.
Recently, there's been talk of some regions increasing taxes and tightening regulations, then loosening them again. Expectations for deposits and withdrawals keep changing, making the market more emotional, liquidity just disappears when it wants to... I, as a sleep-conscious trader, should probably not follow my heartbeat.
My mom even asked me today: "Isn't buying crypto just a click? Why do you still lose money?" I could only reply half-heartedly: "Even clicking requires checking if there's water in the pool..." Forget it, I'll keep dollar-cost averaging and try to hold back from overtrading.
