Lately, I've been paying close attention to oracle price feeds, and the more I look at them, the more I think of them as a "slow half-step ruler."


With delays, the apparent price hasn't caught up yet, but the positions are already swaying in the wind: the necessary liquidations haven't triggered, and when the feed finally updates, it might cause a chain reaction of liquidations;
Conversely, sometimes a brief price spike is fed in, and even though you're not in such a dangerous position, you're pushed out... It's quite powerless. To be honest, it's not that your judgment is wrong, but that the ruler isn't synchronized.

My current approach is very simple: keep leverage as low as possible, leave more collateral, and when the network is especially congested (like during airdrop seasons or task platform anti-witch hunts, where everyone is competing like going to work), be even more conservative. After all, congestion plus delays together are the easiest way for things to go wrong.

What I fear most isn't missing out on opportunities, but rather that I clearly understand the rules, yet a delay disrupts my rhythm.
