Honestly, lately watching liquidation orders is more effective at controlling impulses than watching candlestick charts.
If the oracle feed is even half a beat slow, you might think your position is still pretty safe, but on-chain it’s already calculating health based on the "old price": someone has already pushed the price elsewhere in advance, and the liquidation bot follows suit.
By the time you see the update, it’s too late to add margin...
What I care more about is which route the price feed source takes, whether it suddenly switches routes, which has nothing to do with the "whale trying to dump the market" drama.
By the way, the fuss about NFT royalties is quite similar: everyone is focused on their own share of revenue/cost, and when liquidity tightens, they start blaming each other.
I’m also not sure what’s the fairest way, but for now I only dare to open small positions and leave some margin, preferring to earn less.
