I used to focus on slippage and the stop-loss, thinking that the most critical moment was that one trade; now I realize that the more insidious issue is the oracle price feed being half a beat slow. Your position looks quite safe, but the next update suddenly dumps the real price, and the liquidation line is directly "rebalanced," giving you no reaction time. To put it plainly, it's not that you're slow to operate, but that the system just acknowledged you've already lost money.
Recently, everyone has been comparing RWA, U.S. Treasury yields, and on-chain yield products all together. I can't help but laugh when I hear this: no matter how attractive the yields are written, if the feed price/risk control system can't keep up, then when liquidation happens, all the profits end up as someone else's gain. Anyway, I now deliberately leave a thicker buffer, preferring to earn less rather than get caught in that delayed moment and get ground down. If I were to review, I really shouldn't just blame my own clumsiness.
