Last night, I made a bad trade. Looking back, it's not really the direction's fault; I trusted too much in the idea of "looking deep." The price difference at the time wasn't big, and I was in a hurry to buy with a market order, but the slippage directly distorted my entry point. Then, when I added to my position, I didn't wait for the order book to replenish, and my rhythm got messed up. The more I chased, the worse it got. To put it simply, depth isn't the number on the screenshot at that one second; it's whether you can handle the order within those few seconds when you place it.

Recently, I've been seeing criticism that the staking/sharing security model is just a "layered doll," and I kind of agree: the returns keep stacking, but the liquidity and exit costs are often overlooked. When you actually want to leave, you realize the door is narrow. Anyway, I've set a rule for myself this time: split large orders into smaller ones. I'd rather be two minutes slow than let slippage decide for me... I'm a bit annoyed, but I can only accept it.
