Someone asked me, "What’s the big deal if the oracle is a few seconds slow"… Basically, liquidation doesn’t wait for your emotions to stabilize. A delay in price feeding, and the on-chain system still thinks your position is healthy; when the quote updates, it immediately jumps to "You have been liquidated," and that small buffer (adding margin/reducing position) is gone. Slippage also conveniently writes a dirge for you. Especially during high volatility, no matter how smart the DEX routing is, it can’t save you from expired prices. Recently, stacking yields through staking has been criticized as a “layered trap,” but I think it’s more important to see clearly: Are you stacking yields, or are you stacking more “waiting for price feeds” risk… Anyway, I keep my leverage low as possible, just to stay alive. That line of yours, “I just set a stop-loss,” I only reply half: Stop-loss also needs to be proportional…
