The plan is to arbitrage a newly issued token through a decentralized exchange (DEX) by taking advantage of its price differences across different chains. However, due to severe network congestion at that time, Gas fees surged, causing the transaction to be delayed. By the time I manually adjusted the Gas limit, the price difference had already disappeared, and ultimately, this transaction could not be executed, resulting in missed expected profits.
**Lessons and Reflections**:
1. **Underestimating Network Conditions**: Failing to monitor on-chain congestion in advance led to transaction delays.
2. **Insufficient Gas Fee Budget**: A fixed Gas price lacks flexibility in a highly volatile environment.
3. **Sensitivity of Arbitrage Timing**: Strategies relying on quick execution must consider execution risks.
**Future Adjustments**:
- Use Gas tracking tools to adjust fees in real-time, or set dynamic Gas fee strategies.
- For high-frequency arbitrage trades, prioritize operating on Layer 2 or during low congestion periods.
- Reserve more buffer funds to cope with unexpected costs and diversify into multiple trading pairs to reduce reliance on a single opportunity.
This experience made me realize that in the crypto market, technical details and real-time adaptability are as important as investment judgment.57413796306#美国加征关税
