Last night I was again too stupid: I saw the K-line and got anxious, so I chased and placed a market order, resulting in slippage and a mouthful of losses. I clearly wanted to test with a small position, but the execution price shot straight above... To put it plainly, the market didn't trick me; I didn't see the depth clearly and also ignored the order placement rhythm. Later, during a review, I realized that when your orders are thin, the more anxious you are, the more you lose. Spreading the orders out over two or three attempts is actually more stable, even if it means earning less, it's better than being impulsively "hypnotized" into rushing.

Recently, the funding rate has been quite extreme again, and the group is arguing whether a reversal is coming or if the bubble will continue to be squeezed. My current update is roughly: don’t guess the plot, just focus on doing what I can control—slow down, break it into parts, and don’t rush during the worst liquidity times. The day I learned to respect the market when clearing my positions, it seems I need to review that lesson regularly.
