Just reviewed a small order from last night. The amount was only about 23 USDT. I originally wanted to move fast, but slippage taught me a lesson... The pool looked fine, but the second I clicked confirm, the depth had already been eaten thin, and the execution price drifted up by a notch. The stop-loss even got brushed at the same time. To put it plainly, it’s not that the strategy is that bad—it’s that my order timing was too rushed: I didn’t split the order, didn’t wait a moment, and I also set my tolerance for slippage too high, giving others room to maneuver.

Now I’d rather wait 15 seconds longer. First, check whether the order book/pool is “hollow,” then split the order into two parts and submit them. If it fills, great; if it doesn’t, then so be it. Lately, the whole NFT royalty debate also feels pretty similar: everyone wants smoother secondary liquidity, but in the end, the costs always end up being passed along to some link... Anyway, I’ll handle my side first and survive—if I miss out, then I miss out.
