After trading 132,000 positions over the first five days, today's operations gave me quite a few insights.

I started trading 20,000 positions of TIMI, which immediately consumed 1.5U, a bit painful. Switched to OWL, this time carefully assessing stability before trading 20,000 positions, reducing the cost to 0.9U, and the effect was immediately noticeable. But later, back to TIMI, I found the consumption still relatively high, so I decided to mainly operate OWL. The next four trades of 20,000 positions each consumed 1.4U, 1.1U, 1.3U, and 1.5U respectively.

There's a detail here — for the last two trades, I wanted to "try my luck," quickly pasted without careful review, resulting in consumption soaring to 1.3U and 1.5U respectively. This taught me a simple truth: **You still need to review carefully and wait patiently so that trading costs can be controlled**.

The total consumption for this round was 8.15U (1.5+0.9+1.4+1.1+1.3+1.5+0.45), completing a trading volume of 131,017U, finally transferred into 521U, with 512.85U remaining.

Regarding subsequent stablecoin operations: Currently, the exchange rate between USDT and USDC is 1:1.001, and I still have 100U of RWUSD for investment. I am considering two options — either convert to 100USDC to get back 100.1USDT, or switch to USD1 to do a 20% annualized yield investment (each USD1 of USD1 is expected to generate a daily income of 0.11 USD1). Both options are pretty good; it just depends on the timing.

Haha, it's another story of rushing and crashing. Not checking stability before rushing in is really asking for trouble.

Short-sightedness will get you into trouble; this time, it’s a lesson learned.

Ah, it's the same old lesson again—urgent orders are really a cost killer. --- Damn, I also tend to rush, and the result is just giving money away to the exchange for nothing. --- OWL's stability really holds up, no wonder you mainly operate with it later on. --- I totally understand those two luck-based trades; I've suffered from this many times. --- 8.15U for over 130,000 in trading volume is actually pretty good. --- The RWUSD financial product with a 20% annualized return is really tempting, but it depends on the risk. --- Taking your time to do quality work—this principle sounds simple but is really hard to implement. --- Spending 1.5U directly on the first trade is a bit damaging. --- Wait, do you need to exchange USDT for USDC to get back more USDT? That price difference doesn't seem worth it. --- Will there be more urgent orders next time? Haha.
