Recently, I saw someone criticize the platform after being liquidated, but when I checked the on-chain records, the problem seemed more like a slow oracle price feed: during a market shock, you're still looking at the old price, while your position has already exploded. To put it simply, liquidation isn't "happening at a certain price," but rather the system acts once it receives "the price it recognizes," and a delay of a few minutes is enough to drag you from luck into the abyss. Especially when funding rates are extreme, everyone argues whether to reverse or keep squeezing the bubble; I would just cut my leverage and position again... Better to earn less than to gamble that the system won't freeze up just right.
By the way, a reminder: don't just watch the candlestick charts, check the price feed source, update frequency, and anomaly protections—sometimes your life depends on that one update.
What I fear most isn't missing an opportunity, but realizing that I’ve handed my risk over to the confidence of "it should be fine."
