I just set my alarm 5 minutes earlier and suddenly thought about oracle price feeds—it's the same principle: a slight delay, and liquidation is no longer "almost," but "already."

Some people always focus on how far their position is from liquidation, but when there's a delay in price feeding, the price drops outside first, and the on-chain update hasn't happened yet—you’re topping up collateral like chasing a bus...
When the price feed finally refreshes, bam, the system treats you as if you're too late according to the old rules.

Recently, the group has been talking about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and de-pegging rumors—basically, emotions tend to push people into taking on bigger leverage and using more fragile collateral.
Anyway, I now prefer to earn a little less and set the liquidation threshold further away, rather than betting on "it should update in time."
This thing is unreasonable; it’s all about the time lag.
