Trading journal update: Current portfolio total stands at 9,781, with week 2 showing no additional gains.

The past week called for patience—market conditions simply didn't align with my trading thesis, so I held back. No forced moves.

Looking ahead, here's the gameplan:
- Building a long position in $LIT as a core holding
- Simultaneously running a short strategy on $LIT across alternative platforms to capture cross-exchange arbitrage opportunities

Key takeaway: The current challenge is executing profitably in a low OI environment. My existing framework isn't cutting it. Need to sharpen the approach—better position sizing, stricter entry signals, and more surgical risk management when liquidity is thin.

Low OI environment is really exceptional; you need to change your approach or it will be a waste of effort... I see you're still struggling with LIT arbitrage. The idea is good, but I'm worried you'll get stuck during execution.

Doing nothing is the best action, and that's how I operated this week. Arbitrage in a low oi environment sounds good, but I'm worried about disagreements at the execution level.

Damn, a low OI environment is really hell... My current framework is also a bit disappointing, I can feel it.

The low oi environment is really exceptional. This framework indeed needs an upgrade. However, executing long and short arbitrage with lit simultaneously is quite aggressive; when liquidity is thin, a slight lapse in attention can lead to slippage.

Playing hedging arbitrage in a low oi environment... This idea is good, but can it really achieve stable profits? I feel it still depends on trading execution.
