I just took another look at the K-line, and it reminded me of that earlier time I got hit hard by slippage—I’m really a bit hot-headed 😅. Back then, I tried to rush into a coin with poor liquidity. It looked like the depth was still okay, but after I went in with one full push, my order got filled all the way through, and the execution price ended up several points higher than my expectation. Later, when I reviewed it, I realized it was because I hadn’t controlled my order timing—I got excited and went in with the whole position at once, basically giving the market no chance to breathe. Thinking about it now, when the whales do “brick by brick” trading, they either enter in batches or wait for liquidity to recover before touching it. My way of charging in like that is basically just feeding them.
Recently, the community has been arguing again about the compliance boundaries for privacy coins and mixer services. To be honest, it looks pretty messy. Some people think mixers are for protecting privacy, while others say they’re money-laundering tools—both sides have points, but both also sound pretty extreme. It’s the same in trading: a lot of the time it’s not a technical issue, it’s that your own rhythm and mindset don’t hit the right timing. Anyway, before placing orders now, I’ll first check the order book, then break it into a few smaller batches and go in slowly. I’d rather make a bit less profit than get eaten by slippage. No matter how anxious I feel, I’ve got to learn from the lesson. I don’t even know how long I can keep this up this time 🤔.
