Recently, many people have been testing the testnet to earn points, and casually guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens… I’m actually more concerned about a small detail: if the oracle feeds prices slowly, will it directly send your position away.



To put it simply, liquidation depends on the spot price it feeds in, not the order book you’re watching. If the feed is delayed, the market may have already moved sharply outside, but the protocol still thinks it’s at the previous frame. You might think you’re still safe, but in reality, the liquidation line has already been crossed; conversely, sometimes you can “save your life,” but don’t count on this kind of luck. Recently, I’ve seen several cases where the price rebounded, but the feed was late, and liquidation was triggered very awkwardly.

My current approach is very cautious: open leverage at a lower level, leave a thicker buffer, especially on volatile new pools/new chains, where data isn’t aligned yet. I’d rather earn less for now.
