Last night, I reviewed a failed trade again: it wasn't the wrong direction, I just moved too quickly. Watching the candlestick shoot up, I entered at market price, and the slippage directly hit me hard... The pool depth was already thin, and I chased in two separate trades, which is like giving my liquidity away for others to eat. To put it simply, I didn't keep up with the order timing: I didn't wait when I should have placed an order, and I went all-in during small test trades.

Recently, everyone has been complaining about miner/validator income, MEV, and unfair ordering, right? I used to think it was far from me, but now I understand: you think you're slow, but actually others are queueing and cutting in front of you. My advice isn't just motivational: don't try to outsmart the market with market orders, first check the depth, split your orders slowly, accept losses, don't borrow money to add to your position, staying alive is more important than winning a single trade.
