I tried once, doing a small experiment on a low-fee chain: picked a volatile asset, used a little leverage, and watched the difference between the oracle feed price and the market transaction price.


The result was stuck in that few seconds or ten seconds of delay—on-chain shows the price hasn't caught up yet, the position looks "safe," but once the feed updates, the liquidation line jumps right in front of you, leaving no time to add margin or reduce the position.
Slippage and routing costs also increased the cost of retreating, in plain terms, it’s passive getting hit.

Recently, attention shifts driven by memes and celebrity calls are even more exaggerated, with prices bouncing and then crashing again—slow oracle updates are like a hidden accelerator for liquidations.
Anyway, I now prefer to earn a little less than to ignore these factors: check the oracle update frequency, trading pair depth, and whether routing is taking a roundabout route…
Don’t end up being the “last one to take the hit.”
