Paid my tuition again yesterday: I originally wanted to sneak a small wave in a small pool, but in a moment of impulse, I swept in at market price, and slippage directly ate my profit, also causing the depth to collapse. Later, trying to make up for it, I became more and more frantic, and the rhythm was completely thrown off. Others think losses mean they’re wrong about the trend, but in reality, it’s often just that you were too careless in those few seconds when you placed the order. The takeaway from the review is: split into several trades, place limit orders slowly, and better to miss out than to force a trade.

By the way, I’ve been thinking about the recent social mining and fan token schemes, “attention is mining” sounds pretty good, but when you get into the order book, attention only makes people itch to click a few more times… Anyway, I’ll just hardcode the rules and stop relying on inspiration.
