Lately, I've been thinking about giving myself a word: Stop.
Stop trading K-lines, stop recklessly adding leverage, and take a moment to see what the oracle is actually feeding as the price.
Honestly, liquidation isn't "the market taking you out," often it's "the price arriving at your position a beat late."
The price feed delay of a few seconds means the transaction has already been completed on-chain, the pool price has already slipped away, but your position still calculates safety based on the old price;
When the update comes, it’s like catching up on homework all at once, making up for the missed fluctuations, directly crossing the stop-loss line, and liquidation triggers with a snap...
You still think you've set a stop-loss clearly.
Now new L1/L2s are pushing incentives to boost TVL, everyone is mining and selling at the same time, on-chain volatility is more fragmented and rapid,
I prefer: smaller positions, lower leverage, and at critical moments, I’d rather pause and then reopen, rather than betting on that "delay just happens to work in my favor."
Anyway, I’ve been educated recently.
