Last night, I messed up a trade during my night shift.
Looking back, it wasn't the wrong direction, it was just my own impatience: I saw the fee rate jump and chased after it, the order book was so thin at that moment it was like paper, and when I placed a market order, the slippage hit me so hard I was stunned.
Honestly, I didn't lose control of the order timing; I should have split it into two parts, waited for one fill to replenish, and then pushed again.
But I went all in at once and ended up punishing myself with my own "penalty."
What I fear most isn't losing money, but losing control—knowing I should stop but still clicking confirm—that feeling is scarier than losing money.
Later, I washed my face, and when I came back, I reset the slippage protection and limit orders, preferring to miss out rather than forcing it.
By the way, hardware wallets are still out of stock lately, and phishing links are everywhere...
The more this happens, the easier it is to get carried away and click randomly.
Anyway, now I just ignore unfamiliar links; I won't gamble with my funds' security.
That's all for now.
