Recently, I've seen everyone anxiously watching the "Unlock Calendar," but I'm actually more worried about a small issue: oracle price feed delays. Others think as long as they avoid high leverage, they'll be safe, but in reality, no matter how conservative your position is, if the price feed lags behind by half a beat, it might be "perceived" by the system as breaching the liquidation line, and the liquidation bots won't play fair. Especially during those market moves where a single spike is followed by a quick pullback, on-chain quotes can still be stuck at the old price; by the time they update, they might just cut you off. My approach is pretty simple: keep a thicker margin, don't set the liquidation price too tightly, and reduce your position when volatility is high... Anyway, when it comes to liquidation, it's often not that you predicted the wrong direction, but that you lost due to timing differences.
