Last night I paid my tuition again. Watching the K-line turn, I thought "I have to catch this wave," but then I quickly realized with a market order that slippage woke me up: it looked lively on the surface, but the depth of the pool was actually quite thin, and my small volume could push the price a significant distance. Even more foolish was my order timing—I could have split it into two or three trades, waited for the order book to refill a bit, but I just rushed in all at once, and the average transaction price became a joke.
After reviewing, there are two points: don’t just look at the chart, first check the depth/liquidity, or you’re basically gambling against yourself; and also, slow down—better to miss a move than get eaten by slippage and question your life. During airdrop season, everyone is clocking in on the "Anti-Witch" task platform to earn points, but I’m here working overtime and losing money... Forget it, note it down, and make fewer mistakes next time.
