Last night, I was running at night and came across a liquidation waterfall, and I felt a tightness in my chest: many times, it's not that your position is too strong, but that the oracle feed price is half a beat slow. The price has already slipped down, and you're still seeing "far from the liquidation line"... When it updates, it will wake you up immediately. Especially during big fluctuations, delay = more buffer deduction.



Now I usually check the on-chain feed price update timestamp, like that 0x8f3…a12 in a certain pool, where the feed hasn't moved in over ten seconds, but the liquidation bot is working diligently... Anyway, don't be too superstitious about the price on the interface.

Recently, a bunch of AI Agents are promoting "full automation" for auto-trading. Honestly, can we first take the oracle and risk control seriously? Otherwise, automation just automates your own demise. Don't block it, really.
