Last night I ended up educating myself again. I originally wanted to place a trade once my emotions had cooled down, but I was too quick entering the order. I didn’t watch the slippage closely enough, and I didn’t read the order book depth clearly either. The execution price got pushed up step by step, and when I looked back, it was just “paying liquidity tuition”… In plain terms, it wasn’t that I was wrong on direction—it was that the timing and rhythm were bad.

Now when I place orders, I deliberately leave myself a half-beat of delay: first check whether the depth can actually absorb the size, then split it into a few smaller orders. I’d rather make a little less than smash in all at once. Lately, everyone’s been comparing RWA, US Treasury yields, and on-chain yield products, and I’m also tempted. But the hotter the narrative gets, the easier it is to fumble and chase in. Anyway, I give myself a “backup”—if Plan A doesn’t go smoothly, I’ll retreat according to Plan B, and I won’t let a single trade empty my mindset. That’s it for now.
