These days I’ve seen people get liquidated again, claiming they just increased their leverage, but often it’s really the oracle’s “price feed” being half a beat slow. When prices drop quickly, on-chain data still shows the old quotes, and you think you’re still a bit away from the liquidation line, but the next update jumps past it directly, leaving no time to add margin… Basically, the delay shrinks your reaction window.



So now I tend to leave a thicker cushion when opening positions, especially on assets with low liquidity and high volatility. I’d rather earn less than gamble on those few minutes.

Also, when a major public chain is upgrading or undergoing maintenance, it’s pretty delicate. Everyone’s guessing whether they’ll migrate, but I’m more concerned about whether oracle updates and cross-chain quotes will get stuck during that period, making liquidation thresholds even more “fragile.” What about you?
