Honestly, I used to be pretty indifferent to the issue of "oracle price feeding" until a couple of days ago when I saw someone in the group say to wait for confirmation and not to move positions yet... I only then realized: if the price feeding is delayed, the price you see and the price the protocol recognizes might not be the same thing. You think it's still safe, but the liquidation threshold might have already been exposed on the chain; or conversely, suddenly an abnormal quote drops in, and the position is immediately considered "liquidatable," with no time to react.
The recent cross-chain bridge hack also made me even less willing to move too many assets around. Anyway, my current approach is: keep leverage as low as possible, leave some buffer, and plan my budget on paper... I’m not sure if this is the most optimal, but at least I can sleep more peacefully.
