Recently, I saw someone get liquidated again, and the comment section started blaming "market conspiracy"... I actually worry more about the delay in oracle price feeds. You think you're far from liquidation, but when the quote lags behind, the liquidation bots cut at the old price/jump cut, not even giving a gap to add margin, especially during those volatile minutes, it really feels like an ambush.
Last week, I reminded myself for the third time: don't treat leverage as a test of patience. Watching everyone interpret ETF capital flows, US stock risk appetite, and crypto market ups and downs as tightly linked, honestly, it’s just that when emotions run high, traders tend to open larger positions, but liquidations only look at the numbers, not the narrative. Anyway, I now prefer to earn less, keep my positions lighter, and picking up bargains near the bottom is more comfortable than being taken out by a delayed price feed.
