Lately I've been watching oracle price feeds again, and it really feels like watching a thermometer: when the digital reading is a bit late, people are already half-cold. To put it simply, liquidation isn't always "you lost money and got liquidated"; often it's "the quote was slow or stuck, the on-chain fixed price is disconnected from the market," and traders still think they're safe, only to see the next update jump the price gap, and the liquidation line suddenly gets pulled down... Especially during high volatility, a delay of just a few minutes can turn "a bit risky" into "it's too late." So what I do now is: keep leverage small, leave more buffer, and when there's maintenance or upgrades (recently people have been guessing whether some major chain will migrate projects after an upgrade), I assume that oracle feeds or on-chain interactions might have issues, so I reduce my position in advance. Anyway, losing a little profit is better than waking up to find your position gone.
