I'm not very good at... that kind of operation where you stare at the screen without leaving for a second. I'm more concerned about the small detail of on-chain price feeds. If the oracle quote is delayed, it may look like the price hasn't moved on the surface, but the market has already moved. Your position is like standing on a hollow step: when it should trigger liquidation, it doesn't. When the price feed updates, it can suddenly take out a bunch of people at once, and the slippage looks even worse.
Conversely, sometimes you think it's not that dangerous, but because of that one update hitting the trigger line, you get liquidated, which is pretty frustrating.
So now I prefer to use lower leverage, and when there's big volatility plus network congestion, I shrink my position first, waiting until both the quote and on-chain confirmation are stable. During airdrop season, everyone is doing tasks on platforms, like anti-witchcraft and earning points vouchers as if they’re going to work. I actually worry more about on-chain congestion at these times, where slow price feeds can cause delays, stacking up all the risks... Forget it, if it’s slow, it’s slow.
