Yesterday I was feeling itchy and wanted to "grab a small fluctuation," but I ended up educating myself... When I placed the order, I saw that the slippage setting was quite wide, and I thought as long as it could be filled, it was fine, so I didn't pay attention to the pool depth which was actually very thin. Once the volume went up, I was immediately pushed to sell at the high point, and when I looked back, I couldn't help but laugh at the curve. What's more embarrassing is the timing—I could have split it into two trades and slowly placed them, but I insisted on doing it all at once, saving a few minutes, but ended up losing several hours of mood.
Recently, there have been incidents like cross-chain bridge hacks and oracle errors, and everyone is shouting "wait for confirmation." Now I understand: frankly, don't rush to be the first; confirm the depth and quotes clearly before acting. Anyway, I’m like a slow cooker—less fuss, more sleep. I’d rather earn a little less than get taxed by slippage.
