The other day I tried to hit a low-quality liquidity pool, and the slippage instantly blew up my mindset 😅. I thought liquidity was fine, but once I went all in with a single sweep, the execution price was nearly two percentage points lower than the estimated price. I immediately wanted to slap my own forehead. When I went back and replayed it… it wasn’t really that the depth was terrible; I was just too quick to place my order. Even though I could see big orders sitting on the order book, I didn’t notice those orders were passive—once you touch them, they just break. If I had bought in batches or set a limit order and slowly ate through, I probably wouldn’t have turned out so惨.

Now when I look at data from on-chain tools, sometimes it really feels mysterious—big transfers, position distribution. It looks like a bullish signal, but by the time you know it, the smart money has already left. It’s like everyone is using the same labeling system, which ironically makes you easier to be misled. Anyway, I’d rather be half a step behind than rush along with the data. When it comes to position sizing, don’t let it get too wrapped up with your pride—if you lose, you lose. First admit the mistake, then think about the next step. It’s fine, it’s fine. Next trade then.
