Just woke up and checked the blockchain, and I found that many people are being liquidated and thought it was "the system froze." Actually, sometimes it's not that you're slow, but the oracle price feed is lagging behind: the price has already changed externally, but the contract hasn't caught up yet. Your position still looks safe, but the next update jumps past it, instantly hitting the liquidation threshold, and the liquidation bots swarm in... Basically, it's just delaying turning "slow losses" into a "one-size-fits-all" cut.
My current approach is pretty simple: keep leverage as low as possible, especially during high volatility. Better to add some margin in advance than to rely on the price feed always being timely. Recently, there's been talk about increased taxes and tighter or relaxed compliance in certain regions. I feel that any change in deposit and withdrawal expectations makes the market more prone to wild swings, and in such times, whether the oracle keeps up becomes even more critical. Anyway, I prefer to do less and live more, for now.
