Recently, I saw someone complain that liquidations are "mysterious," but actually, it's often just the delay in price feeding causing the issue. The on-chain price has already dropped, but the oracle is still using the previous round's quote. Your position still looks safe, but once it finally updates, it directly fills the risk gap all at once, and the liquidation line seems to be instantly moved to your face... You didn't even get a chance to add margin.
When incidents like cross-chain bridge theft happen, everyone prefers to shout "wait for confirmation," but the longer you wait for price feeding, the more likely errors will accumulate, eventually exploding all at once. Anyway, now I pay more attention to leverage: the update frequency, whether there's a protection mechanism during extreme market conditions, or else no matter how sophisticated the trading structure is, it can't withstand a delayed spike.
