I recently turned off auto-copy trading to avoid being led into a charge by "smart money" in the middle of the night. Honestly, many liquidations aren't due to miscalculations of your position, but because of the delay of a few seconds or tens of seconds in the oracle price feed: the on-chain price has already slipped, but the feed hasn't caught up yet. When the update happens, the liquidation line is suddenly breached as if by teleportation. You think it's still safe, but the next moment your position is gone, and there's no time to even add margin.



Now, a bunch of AI agents and automated trading bots are touting "full-chain automation," but I care more about whether they clearly explain their price feed sources, update frequency, and fallback mechanisms during extreme market conditions... Otherwise, it's just automating risk. As for my own approach, it's a bit more old-fashioned: use small leverage, withdraw when there's volatility, and prefer to earn less. That's how I'll do it for now.
