Just reviewed a losing trade, and it’s really not that I misread the direction, but I placed the order too hastily. At that time, the order book looked hot, but the depth was as thin as paper. I used a market order to buy in one go, and the slippage directly increased my cost significantly; when I tried to fix it, I chased the price levels and cut, messing up the rhythm entirely. Honestly, I was just naive to think that “active trading” meant “being able to catch large orders.”
Later, I simply unfollowed an account I had been paying attention to… Every day, all I saw was “just rush in,” and after a while, my hands itched to buy more. Recently, the scripts of inflation + studio manipulation in blockchain games, draining the market and causing the coin prices to spiral, kept reminding me: when liquidity is poor, all plans become a joke. From now on, I’d rather place orders in batches more slowly than get taught a lesson by slippage again. That’s it for now.
