Last night I paid my tuition again... I originally wanted to ride that wave of emotion—quick in, quick out—but ended up stepping right into a slippage trap. To put it plainly, it wasn’t that the direction was wrong; it was that I placed my order too fast: the candlesticks were moving so lively, yet I didn’t check the order book depth first, and my order wasn’t broken down finely enough. The fills kept “eating” their way up; when I looked back and calculated the cost, the cost line had been pushed up straight away, and my mindset instantly shattered.

When I replay it, there are only three things: first, check the depth before talking about your position; don’t slam it all in at once—slow the pace and split it into two or three entries; if you really want to chase, I’d rather miss than force it when liquidity is thin. Lately, the narratives around AI Agent and automated trading have been pretty hot, but the more I look, the more it feels like it doesn’t matter who’s blowing the story—what really matters is the safety and execution details of on-chain interactions. There are lots of tutorials, but I actually prefer the kind that break down losing trades and clearly explain why it “slipped.” That’s it for now—I’ll close the shop for today.
