Just reviewed last week's losing trade, and honestly it’s not that I was wrong about the direction, I just moved too quickly. Seeing a few big orders pass through the pool, I followed right behind, and when the price slipped a bit, I confidently thought “close enough,” but the depth couldn’t hold at all. I pushed the price up myself, completed the trade, and then looked back like I was giving someone else a fee...

Now I’m adding a “stop” for myself: stop spamming candlesticks, stop chasing orders, and before placing an order, take a moment to look at the depth and transaction distribution. I’ve also changed my rhythm—prefer to split into two or three slow entries rather than rushing in all at once pretending to be a pro.

Recently, new L1/L2 incentives are again boosting TVL, and veteran users in the group complain about “mining, selling,” which I resonate with. During busy times, it’s even more important to stop, or you’ll easily become fuel for the fire. Anyway, I stick to the rules—no excessive leverage, admit mistakes when I make them.
