These days, switching chains and arbitrage have once again been educated by oracle price feeds... Honestly, you think you're still pretty far from liquidation, but when there's a delay or lag in the price feed, the on-chain price jumps first, and the oracle is a half beat behind, only catching up later. The liquidation bots are quick, so by the time you react, your position has already been partially liquidated. Especially during those volatile minutes, it looks fine on the UI, but the underlying data has already changed.
Now I keep it simple: open less leverage, leave more "breathing room" around your position, and if the oracle update frequency looks off, just withdraw first—don't bet on it.
By the way, I see the community arguing again about privacy coins/mixing and the compliance boundaries... what I worry more about is that when something really goes wrong, you won't even know which part was the slowest.
Anyway, this is how I handle it for now—do you usually watch the price feed or the liquidation line?
