These days I've been looking at oracle price feeds again, and I just realized I was a bit naive before: I thought liquidation was just "being liquidated when the price drops." Actually, when the feed is a bit slow, you see the market has already rebounded, but the protocol is still calculating health based on the old price, and your position might get forcibly liquidated. By the time you realize it, there's only one trade record left... Thinking about it now, it's pretty funny.
My current approach is a bit more basic: open smaller leverage, leave more buffer, and even split the same position into several wallets, so one delayed price feed won't wipe out my entire position. Macro-wise, there's also chatter about rate cut expectations, the US dollar index, and risk assets rising and falling together. Anyway, during these "emotionally unified" times, volatility gets even stranger. If the price feed gets delayed again, it's really just a matter of going all out. For now, just keep tracking costs.
