Recently, I saw someone complain again that on-chain data tools and tagging systems are a bit "lagging," and I actually empathize a lot: many times, it's not that you're judging the wrong direction, but that the clock you're watching is a bit slow. Liquidation is even more brutal; a delay in oracle price feeds means that the "reality" on the chain suddenly gets a pop quiz—it's just a price spike, but before you can even add margin, the system has already treated you as someone who should be liquidated based on the old price. To put it simply, liquidation isn't only related to volatility; it also depends on whose timeline you're standing on. Anyway, I now operate my leverage more mechanically: I prefer to keep it smaller and leave room for delayed sneak attacks. I still believe that emotions will reveal themselves naturally, but it's just that I often react a step too late.
