I was so stupid yesterday: thinking "just this one trade" and chasing into a pool with average depth, but ended up with slippage eating up the full amount, and the execution price was quite a bit off from the "theoretical price" on that candlestick I saw... To put it simply, it’s not about the wrong direction, but about the timing of the order and misjudging the depth. After reviewing, there are two points: first, look at how much volume the order book/pool can actually absorb, don’t just focus on the price; splitting orders + waiting a beat is more reliable than rushing in all at once, especially when the market is volatile, it’s even more obvious. Recently, everyone’s talking about modularization and DA layer, developers are excited, but users actually care more about "will clicking here cost me more money," and poor experiences like slippage are the most direct. As for whether I trust data or intuition more? I lean toward data, because intuition can easily lead me astray in that FOMO moment, but data at least reminds me "it’s too thin here, slow down."
