Actually, everyone understands that many trading failures are not due to wrong direction, but because of rushing to place orders.


Last night, I was educated: I wanted to catch a pullback, so I directly placed a market order, but the pool's depth was as thin as paper, and the slippage took me out in one bite, with the average price much higher than I expected.
The rebound afterward didn't even erase the loss, just pure tuition fees paid to myself.

Looking back, it's a matter of timing: I was fixated on the candlestick chart, forgetting to check the depth/order book first.
Placing limit orders in batches is actually more stable.
In the future, for such assets with average liquidity, I’d rather go slower, split into several orders, and leave myself room to retreat—don't treat "want to enter" as "must execute immediately."
The same goes for blockchain games with inflation and studio runs—basically, when depth is thin, anyone in a rush will suffer.
For now, that's it. Today, I’ll keep my hand in my pocket.
