Last night, I was staring at the perpetual funding rate until I was dizzy, almost impulsively chasing a trade because of an "on-chain label," then I thought about it and felt a bit scared... That kind of tool is now also criticized for being laggy, and can still be misled. Honestly, what you see might be what others want you to see.
Now I understand that the main line for data availability/order/finality is: whether your order is "visible," "queued," and "accurately calculated." Data not being fully public = guessing in a black box; unstable order ranking = thinking you're the first to get in when you’re actually jumped; finality not being settled = thinking the trade is done when it’s rolled back. The terms sound intimidating, but in trading, it boils down to one sentence: don’t treat uncertain things as certain. Anyway, I’d rather earn less and wait for confirmation according to discipline, with stop-loss in front, rather than staying up all night waiting to wake up.
