Just reviewed a failed trade, and it’s really not about the wrong direction, it’s because I was impatient: saw the candlestick shake and went in with a market order directly, the slippage was too large, the pool depth was shallow, and as a result, the execution price was pushed to an absurd level. Tried to make up for it by chasing later, but the rhythm got even messier… Basically, it’s “hurry + not checking depth.” Now, on-chain data tools and address labels can also be quite confusing; sometimes they show data with a delay, or even are deliberately fed false signals. Staring at them can make you more impulsive.
If I could keep only one habit: before placing an order, check the pool depth and the actual tradable range.
