The logical order of the order placement interface during alpha project trading could be optimized. Many traders prefer using market orders (immediate execution) rather than limit orders (placing an order and waiting), but the current interface design often places limit orders first, which conflicts with their trading habits.



In reality, players engaging with meme and alpha projects mostly operate with the mindset of immediate execution—once they place an order, it should be filled automatically, without repeated confirmations. Once this muscle memory is formed, it can easily lead to mistakes when they need to place a limit order. I have experienced this twice: I set a limit order to catch the bottom, but I didn't confirm the transaction in time, and the price doubled afterward. By the time I realized, I had already missed the opportunity.

If the option for immediate execution could be placed at the front, and limit orders moved to the back, it might reduce such misoperations. The design logic of the trading interface should align with users' real habits, rather than contradicting them.

Haha, this pain point hit home. I also had a crash, muscle memory can really be deadly.

Really, I resonate so much with muscle memory. I don't know how many times I've fallen into this trap. --- Damn, so that's why I always get it wrong. No wonder I'm always a beat late. --- The interface design is so anti-human, it's like digging a hole for yourself. --- Exactly, market orders should be the default, and limit orders are the advanced option. Now it's the other way around. --- The chance to double up is gone just like that. Blood and tears lesson +1. --- Indeed, the designers probably didn't consider the actual user operation flow. --- So heartbreaking, every time I set it up and then realize I pressed the wrong button.

Haha, so true. I've also been burned by this; a one-second hesitation and it's all gone. --- The interface design should follow our rhythm; don't do the opposite. --- Placing market orders first can really save lives, otherwise you're always gambling. --- Exactly, meme traders simply can't react to that many, muscle memory is the most terrifying. --- That confirmation box for limit orders is harmful; I've seen too many cases where the coin price triples in a second. --- This suggestion is brilliant; exchanges should copy it. --- I just want to ask why the default isn't a market order. Who likes to place orders slowly? --- Missing out on a doubling market is truly torture. Optimizing the interface could really save a lot of people.

Yeah, bro, I totally understand. Muscle memory really can be a curse.

Really, I've been scammed too. The interface design is indeed counterintuitive. Muscle memory is spot on; with quick reflexes, you just can't stop. Sigh, missing out on doubling your coins is really frustrating. The designers should listen to traders' opinions. Placing market orders at the front can really save a lot of unnecessary expenses. Product managers should try playing a couple of rounds of alpha themselves to understand.

Haha, I've really stepped into it with this one. Placing market orders last just causes trouble. Me too, muscle memory kicks in and I just can't stop. Where's the designer's brain? User habits are right here, why not look? Adding +1 to the limit order at the end, or else someone will try to buy the dip and fail again. This is ridiculous, the UI's anti-human design is just asking for trouble.
