Recently, someone in the group was complaining again, "I didn't do much and I got liquidated," basically, many times it's not that your operations are too tricky, but that the oracle feed price is slow by half a beat. The on-chain peg price delay is a few seconds to over ten seconds, and when there's a spike or large fluctuation, your position is calculated at the old price and seems quite safe, but once the feed price updates, it jumps directly to the liquidation line, with no reaction time at all.
What's even more annoying is the ordering issue, MEV, validators jumping the queue—that's not unreasonable for retail traders to complain about: you think you've added margin, but you might actually be behind others, and in the end, you see "liquidated." I’ve been watching this stuff so much my eyes hurt, my neck's stiff... I now just accept it: don’t leverage too close to the limit, don’t blindly trust "my quick fingers," if you really want to play, first understand the oracle update frequency, anomaly protection, and so on, or you're just feeding the system.
