Did my own little obsession with “just one more step” trick me again?

To be blunt, this loss wasn’t about the direction—it was because I was too impatient with my hand: seeing the order book thin and still forcing it, slamming in a large buy, and the slippage immediately pushing my cost up. Then when I tried to make up for it, I ended up chasing orders and throwing off the execution rhythm—until the more I tried to recover, the more it felt like I was handing money to the market… Only after a post-trade review did I realize: when the depth isn’t enough, you should split your orders, wait a bit, or just not touch it at all—don’t fight the liquidity.

Recently, when I look at blockchain gaming’s inflation + studio + coin-price spiral, it actually looks a lot like my situation: everyone wants to “rush in and rush out,” but in the end, the road just gets more and more slippery under your feet. Anyway, I’ll first press down the bad habit of “charge the moment I see it”—taking it slower isn’t shameful.
