I need to be reminded: sometimes liquidation isn't really "my direction was wrong," but rather the oracle feed is slow by half a beat. That moment when the price spikes on-chain, the order book changes first, but the feed hasn't caught up yet. You see your position looking fine, then with one update it jumps straight to the liquidation line, and there's no time to even add margin... It's quite annoying. Recently, everyone has been watching large on-chain transfers and unusual activity in exchange hot and cold wallets, saying "smart money is coming/going," but once these fluctuations are layered with delayed price feeds, the most hurt are usually retail traders with high leverage. Anyway, I now prefer to earn a little less, lower my leverage, and leave some buffer in advance, rather than race against liquidation. That's all for now.
