Lately, I've been deliberately slowing down, and my position has been lagging behind by half a beat.
When interest rates rise, the market's risk appetite for "just rushing in" shrinks back, in plain terms, everyone prefers to hold and wait, avoiding too much fuss;
I'm being more serious on my end: I'd rather make fewer trades than get caught with slippage and sandwich attacks when liquidity is thin.
Recently, a bunch of people have been rushing to testnet incentives, calculating points, guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens...
I'm not saying it's wrong, but once expectations get high, on-chain routing immediately congests like rush hour, clicking a trade feels like giving MEV a warm welcome.
Anyway, my current strategy is just one word: slow.
Slow to split orders, slow to switch routes, slow to add positions, if there's no advantage, I don't move.
Complaints aside, I still have to spend money carefully.
