I used to think that liquidation in contracts was just "my bad," but after watching the oracle price feeds a few times, I realized: sometimes it's not that you see the wrong direction, but that the quote is a half beat slow. When that on-chain spot price is delayed, the market has already turned, and the margin is still calculated based on the old price, resulting in a very awkward situation—those who should top up can't do it smoothly, those who should exit can't get out in time, and suddenly the system takes you away according to the rules.
Now I’m a bit more cautious, opening smaller leverage, especially when news is flying around and volatility is high, I’d rather earn less. Recently, the testnet incentives and points have rekindled people's interest, with daily guesses about whether the mainnet will issue tokens. I don’t get too caught up in it anyway… The market is like a vinyl turntable, and when the needle jitters, you just have to accept that noise. Don’t go all-in; first, survive.
