These days, watching on-chain transactions has been a bit frustrating… Sandwich attacks and arbitrage are often not "opportunities," but more like paying others transaction fees. You think you've caught a price difference, but as soon as you enter the pool and experience slippage, two transactions end up trapping you completely, and that remaining "profit" isn't even enough for psychological comfort.

Now, whenever I see abnormal transactions, I tend to hold back first, preferring to cancel and re-enter, waiting a bit longer if needed. Especially recently, with a bunch of testnet incentives and token expectations being hyped up, people are asking every day if the mainnet will issue tokens, and the on-chain congestion has increased… Transactions feel like waiting in line; a click to refresh/retry, and the next second, the price is no longer the same. Anyway, I don’t idolize any strategy; I just look at the data and avoid what I can.
