Last night, I got itchy again and chased after a position, only to wake up after getting stopped out by a slip: the K-line looked smooth, but when I actually placed the order, the depth was just not enough. I even split my order into two parts, effectively pushing the price up... Basically, my rhythm was off, the trading volume didn't keep up, and I forced the trade.

Now, I only remember three things in my review: first, check if the order book is thick or not; if it's thin, don't use market orders; second, be decisive when entering—don't hesitate and let yourself slip away; and third, just write a sentence for your entry reason—if you can't, don't press the button. Recently, the group has been arguing about privacy coins/mixing coins and their compliance boundaries. I’m too lazy to pick a side; anyway, when the market gets tense, the most vulnerable to being hammered are usually those with poor liquidity.

After lowering my target, I can actually hold on longer: I don’t chase big moves, only take small, steady slices of the structure. Whether I make money or not is another story, but at least I no longer doubt myself after every trade.
