Today I was staring at the market so intently that my heart rate spiked... I only then realized that sometimes it's not your judgment that's wrong, but the oracle feeding the prices is slow by half a beat, and the liquidation line is calculated based on the "old price." To put it simply, you thought there was some buffer, but on-chain, that instant can mean a death sentence, especially during high volatility, where a delay of just a few minutes can wipe out your margin. What's even more frustrating is the MEV and ordering manipulations involved; retail traders aren't wrong to complain: with the same fixed price, some can get out first while others get liquidated. Anyway, I now prefer to keep leverage lower, not add more positions or chase miracles, and leave some margin for these "systemic moods."
