Just reviewed one of my bad trades, not much loss but really frustrating: clearly the direction was correct, but I got taught a lesson by slippage and order book depth. That pool looked like it was trading fine, I panicked and split my order into two parts, and on the second attempt I pushed myself into a high price and bought in… Basically, my order timing was too impulsive, watching the candlesticks like a criminal, and my hands actually trembled more.

Now I’m establishing a small new habit: look at the order book depth first before acting, break the order into smaller pieces, and prefer to be a few seconds slower rather than rushing all at once. Recently, everyone has been interpreting ETF fund flows, US stock risk appetite, and crypto price movements together, I do that too, but I’m more afraid of being led by emotions and ending up leaving a “crime scene” on the chain. Starting with this, don’t copy me.
