I used to think that liquidation was just "your leverage is too high, you deserve it," but after watching more, I realize that a delayed oracle price feed can really mess people up: on-chain prices have already jumped, but your position is still calculated using the old quote for health, and when the feed updates, it directly triggers liquidation all at once, not even giving you time to add margin... Basically, you think you're still stable, but you're actually crossing the line.

Now, when I open a contract, I first check which oracle provider is used and roughly how often it updates. If there's high volatility, I lower the leverage, even if it means earning less. Especially lately, with memes and celebrities shouting, a bunch of people rush in, and attention shifts too quickly. Newcomers really shouldn't take the last step; delayed feed + price spikes, and the ones who end up taking the blame are usually those who didn't react in time. Anyway, I still stick to my old approach: keep emotions at freezing point and take it slow, rushing easily leads to trouble.
