These days, I've been watching the market so intently that it's making my head numb... The more I look, the more I feel that sometimes liquidation isn't about having the wrong direction, but about the feed price being half a beat slow. When the oracle quote is delayed, that "current price" on the chain becomes disconnected from reality. You think there's some buffer, but the next update jumps straight past it, and your leveraged position gets kicked out with no time to add margin, feeling pretty helpless.
No wonder recently some people have been complaining that on-chain data tools and label systems are lagging or can be misleading. Honestly, what you see as the "truth" might already be a scene from the past. Anyway, I'm being more conservative now: keep smaller positions, stay farther from the liquidation line, and don't pin all hopes on a quote updating promptly... Sigh, just endure it slowly; at least now I know where the pitfalls are.
