Just now I almost dragged the voting to the last hour, and casually checked the blockchain and saw someone was liquidated. The comment section was still arguing, "I clearly didn't hit the limit." Many times, it's not really your miscalculation; it's the oracle feeding prices being half a beat slow: the market has already gone down, and your position should have been topped up with margin earlier, but the system hasn't updated yet; when the quote suddenly catches up, it's like deducting points at the moment you turn in your homework, liquidations happen all at once, and slippage looks even worse. Conversely, if the price feed gets stuck at the old price, you think you're very safe, but your mentality becomes more prone to drifting, and in the end, you can't make up for it. Recently, during airdrop season, everyone is doing tasks on platforms, anti-witching, earning points like going to work. I actually think the most important thing to "check in" on is understanding which oracle the protocol uses, its update frequency, and how it handles anomalies. Otherwise, the points you earn might not even be enough to cover a single liquidation. If I had to choose only one habit to keep, it would be: always leave some margin, don't push your position to the limit.
