Just finished a round of funding rate monitoring, and I casually turned off the "auto leverage increase"… Recently, I saw some people promoting social mining and fan token schemes, claiming "attention is mining." Honestly, it's all just noise; when liquidation hits, attention is worth nothing at all.
In perpetual contracts, many only watch the price chart, but it's actually more important to watch the oracle feed: you might think you haven't hit the liquidation line yet, but if the oracle delays or jumps, or if the exchange price spikes first, and the liquidation engine calculates based on the feed, you'll be swept out first. The most annoying part is that after the delay, the price bounces back, leaving you stunned in place.
My current simple trick: don't leverage too high, set your stop-loss more "early," and during big fluctuations, prefer to take small losses and exit rather than hope the feed always stays in sync with your "current price." That's it for now; night shift continues.
