Last night I paid my tuition again... I originally wanted to follow the recent capital flow on the chain and make a small trade, but I was too impatient and went in at market price directly, with slippage being quite random. I didn’t check the pool depth beforehand, and when I executed the trade, I was immediately "pumped" up a bit. Later, when I tried to fix it by canceling and re-placing the order, I was a half beat too slow. By the time I realized it, the rhythm was already disrupted.

To put it simply: even if I see the right direction, it’s useless. The most critical thing is the chaos during those few seconds when I place the order. In the future, I might still honestly split my orders and use limit orders little by little, even if it’s slower, rather than letting slippage become my opponent... Recently, with the hype around rate cut expectations, the dollar index, and risk assets all acting crazy in sync, I, as a social anxiety sufferer, need to control my speed even more. Otherwise, I might lose everything before I even finish capturing the chart. For now, I’ll save those few trade screenshots and not delete them (most likely I’ll want to delete them).
