Last night I made a pretty stupid trade, and upon review, it’s not that I was wrong about the direction, but that I was too eager to "save time" on slippage and depth. Seeing the pool’s surface price looking pretty stable, I just placed an order, but the depth couldn’t handle that amount at all, and I set the slippage too wide. The trade was instantly snatched away, and my mindset got all messed up. I became more and more anxious to fill the order, and the rhythm completely collapsed.



Honestly, when the depth isn’t enough, don’t fight yourself. Break up the orders, wait a bit, or just don’t trade at all. Especially these past couple of days, before and after a major public chain upgrade, everyone’s guessing whether the ecosystem will migrate. The on-chain liquidity fluctuates between thick and thin, so don’t force it with your "usual feel."

I prefer to wait patiently for the price to come to me, rather than chasing every fluctuation to prove myself. That’s all for now, just making a note of this.
