Honestly, that trade last night was a bit stupid… The moment I saw the candlestick spike, I got antsy, and the slippage immediately “educated” me. I was trying to catch a small rebound, but I didn’t check the pool depth first. Once the price difference widened, I even sped up and chased my order—only after the trade was filled did I realize I’d bought in the thinnest layer. I couldn’t get out, so I had to pay another round of fees.

So, when I look back: when the depth isn’t enough, don’t “bet your luck” with a market price. And don’t dump your orders in all at once—hanging them in several times is more solid. I’m not sure if this is the most optimal approach, but at least it helps me get less dragged around by slippage.

Recently, cross-chain bridges have had issues again, and oracles occasionally glitch too, so everyone keeps shouting “wait for confirmation”—and that isn’t without reason… Anyway, I’d rather be half a step slower now. First, make sure you understand what your wallet is doing before rushing in. For now, that’s it.
