These days, while watching the market, I thought about the oracle price feeding issue again: You think you're a bit away from the liquidation line, but when the market suddenly moves, and the on-chain quote is a half beat slow, the platform first locks in the margin at the old price, and by the time the new price catches up, it's already too late to add to the position... To put it simply, it's not that your judgment is bad, but the time lag keeps you stuck on the ground, rubbing against it. Especially during times of high volatility and network congestion, a delay of just a few minutes can determine life or death.
Recently, there's been talk about certain regions tightening and loosening tax and compliance policies, causing expectations for deposits and withdrawals to shift. Everyone then loves to leverage big bets even more, and when emotions run high, it's easiest to overlook these "system-level pitfalls." I'm not regretful about the outcome, but about knowing that the price feed might be slow, yet still treating stop-loss and margin replenishment as a quick reflex game. Anyway, now I prefer to keep my positions smaller and reserve more margin, so I can sleep peacefully.
