Lately, I've noticed everyone is again pushing testnet incentives and points, and guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens… I thought of another more "realistic" concern: if the oracle price feed is a half beat late, your position might be gone first. Especially when using leverage/borrowing, on-chain prices haven't caught up yet, but the liquidation line is still based on that "old price," which can be pretty awkward during extreme volatility.
I used to think just watching the exchange price was enough, but once I saw the market rebound outside, my position still got liquidated… Only then did I realize that price feed delays combined with network congestion make liquidation bots react much faster than I do. Now I generally don’t set the liquidation line too close, and I split addresses and positions. I’d rather earn less than get "educated" by a slow quote in one go. Anyway, surviving first is the priority.
