I looked through my records today and found myself stuck on a really stupid point: slippage. The candlestick looked smooth, but I got impatient and rushed in at market price, only to find that the pool's depth was as thin as paper at that moment. The order kept climbing upward, raising my cost directly, and when it retraced a bit later, it turned into "I just got in and got hit." To put it simply, it’s not about the wrong direction, but about my order timing being too reckless.

Now I’ve set a strict rule for myself: when the market is hot, first check the depth; don’t just stare at the price movements. If I want to chase, split the orders; better to be a little slow than to rush in blindly. Recently, Meme coins and celebrity calls have been stirring up attention, making newcomers especially prone to get excited and take the last shot... I anyway place my orders at the designated times and stop at the designated times. If I miss it, so be it. Sleeping is more important than averaging down.
