Just paid tuition again—let’s recap the part about slippage and depth.

Yesterday I was trading a coin with pretty poor liquidity. When I placed the order, I didn’t pay attention to the depth chart and just went in with a market order. In the end, slippage wiped out half of my profit. Looking back, I saw the order book was as thin as paper—once a large order gets dumped, it wipes out several “blocks.” What I fear most isn’t just losing money, but realizing only after slippage has eaten your profit that the depth was never actually broken through in the first place—my mindset breaks first.

Lately I’ve been seeing people talk about modular stuff. Developers say it’s great, but users look completely clueless. Anyway, as a small retail trader like me, I’ll still focus on the order execution cadence and liquidity first—don’t let new buzzwords throw you off track.
