Some honest thoughts after trying onchain trading through a Cex

I have been experimenting with memecoin trading via bitget onchain over the past two months, Initially, the learning curve was steep, and I encountered several challenges in adapting to the new environment.

The first few weeks weren’t smooth. Like with any new tool, it took time to figure out what worked for me, from managing entries to avoiding rushed exits. One trade that stood out was $GROYPER. I caught it after a dip to around 607k market cap and managed a 43% gain in about an hour. That moment reminded me how important it is to combine timing with a bit of patience.

What’s kept me engaged recently is a trading event they are running, where users can share their profit stats (either in amount or rate) and potentially get rewarded. I’m not gunning for top returns, but tracking my performance more intentionally has made me reflect more critically on my trades even outside the event.

To be fair, I have noticed the UI and risk controls on the platform have improved over time. It’s still a work in progress, but definitely more usable now than when i started.

Curious if anyone else here is exploring onchain trades through centralized platforms like this or if most are sticking to DEX only setups? How do you balance speed, fees, and execution when you are targeting shorter term moves?
