Just finished having a late-night snack and checked my positions, and suddenly I thought of an old problem: if the oracle feeds prices slowly, your liquidation threshold might look "okay," but the system could already be calculating based on outdated prices. Basically, when the market moves suddenly, you think you can hold on for a couple more minutes, but liquidation happens first... Especially when leverage is tight, there's really no buffer at all.
Recently, mainstream chains are upgrading/maintaining, and there's been chatter in the group about whether projects will migrate. I think whether they migrate or not is secondary; if the chain gets congested or price updates slow down, the ones who suffer first are those with positions that can be liquidated. Anyway, I now prefer to keep my positions smaller, leave some room, and sleep peacefully.
