Most traders believe that trading speed depends on how quickly they can place orders. Actually, that's not the case. True trading speed comes from eliminating pauses in the trading process.

Pauses are everywhere in perpetual contracts. Checking funding rates, adjusting stop-loss orders, eyes fixed on the shrinking liquidation distance... every interruption breaks your trading rhythm. These fragmented experiences directly impact execution efficiency and decision quality.

The smoother the trading process and the fewer the interruptions, the faster your reaction time. Simplifying operational procedures, reducing unnecessary confirmation steps, and improving information display efficiency—these are the key to enhancing the Perps trading experience. When the trading interface is well-designed, maintaining coherence from opportunity detection to execution, the true speed advantage can be realized.

That's right, I hate those exchanges with a bunch of pop-up confirmations. No matter how fast your fingers are, it's useless.

Damn, this is exactly what I've been wanting to say! It's not about being quick, but about being calm enough and having a smooth process.

Oh, you're so right. I used to desperately chase order speed, but ended up getting stuck on issues like funding rates... Now I realize that smoothness is the key.

Exactly, it sounds nice, but it's just about UI/UX... The real bottleneck is not this, it's the market constantly causing panic and losing composure.

Hmm... this logic is interesting, but one point needs clarification. Pauses do exist, but the real trading speed bottleneck is psychological decision-making, not the UI process. From the source code perspective, on-chain confirmation time is the hard constraint.

That's right. I was already annoyed by these fragmented operations before. Frequently switching interfaces to check funding rates can really ruin the rhythm. If you're not careful, you'll get stopped out and get wiped out.

Wow, you're so right. I always thought I was slow to react, but it turns out I was just being messed with by the UI.

Basically, it's a UX design issue. Most exchange perp interfaces are really terrible, full of pop-ups and confirmation steps, which completely disrupt my rhythm.
