Just ten minutes before that new coin went live, the price suddenly dropped by a chunk. Watching others rush to seize the opportunity, I pondered a thought—wait until I see what it really is, then open a short position and reverse the operation. That's what I said, greed indeed plays a role, but what hurts more is that my limit order didn't get filled at all. In the end, I had no choice but to fill it at market price forcibly.
The profit I made isn't much, but for me, it's everything. This trade taught me a lesson—sometimes your intuition is right, but execution fails, and it's all for nothing. Market opportunities are fleeting; hesitate half a second when it's time to act, and losses can double. Next time, learn from this lesson—don't gamble on luck with limit orders again.

Limit orders are really tricky; hesitate for a moment and they're gone.
My instincts weren't wrong, I just was a half beat too slow.
Let's count this as an experience fee for the rise; next time, I'll go straight with a market order.
Another day of being hammered by slippage.
Watching others eat the meat while I gnaw on the bones, my mood collapses.
Execution capability is the biggest bottleneck; even the best signals are useless without it.
I've fallen into the trap of limit orders too many times and still can't learn.

Limit orders are really just gambling with luck. I've been scammed countless times too; being quick isn't as good as being lucky.

Limit orders tricked me again. This time I really have to learn my lesson. Market orders are the way to go.

limit orders are just governance attacks on your own capital, tbh. execution timing is the real protocol that matters here.

When a limit order doesn't get filled, you've already lost. The pattern has formed, and the chip distribution shows that there is a main force absorbing, but hesitating for half a second causes it to be eaten up. It's a typical rookie mentality. Next time, go directly with a market order and don't gamble on luck.

Limit orders are really a trap. I set one and wait forever for it to fill, but it just doesn't execute. Frustrated, I have no choice but to accept a market order and take the hit.
