Did you check the liquidation price at the bottom right corner of your position? It determines whether you'll get liquidated. Here’s a key point to note — the liquidation price is based on the contract's mark price, not the real-time transaction price.

Simply put: if the price rises to 100, but the mark price is still at 50, you're still safe. Conversely, if the price can't go up and the mark price surges ahead, you will be forcibly liquidated. This is a common pitfall many people fall into.

In crypto trading, the most important thing is to understand your goal — making money. Not getting distracted by all kinds of voices online. There’s everything on the internet, and a lot of noise. Instead of wasting effort trying to figure out who’s right or wrong, it’s better to focus on managing your own risks.

Listen less to others’ ramblings, watch fewer emotional discussions, and think less about useless things. Staying rational, focusing on data and risk management, is the right path.

The mark price is indeed a trap; many people have fallen for it. --- That's true, there's too much noise. Instead of listening to those who talk nonsense, it's better to focus on your own risks. --- You must understand the liquidation price clearly, or you'll be liquidated in minutes. --- Late-night emotional posts are really pointless; it's better to check if your positions are healthy. --- Exactly, making money is the goal; don't get led astray. --- Trading contracts requires careful attention; the real danger is when the mark price surges. --- The hardest part in the crypto world isn't predicting the market, but ignoring the noise and managing risks.

I've fallen into the trap of marking prices before, and almost lost everything. Now I keep an eye on that thing every day, just like watching stocks.

The mark price trap I fell for before, luckily I didn't get wrecked too badly. Really, don't be swayed by those loud voices; keep your own judgment in mind.

I've fallen for the trap of the mark price before, really. When the price goes up to the sky, nothing happens, but as soon as the mark price moves, I'm immediately liquidated. It's outrageous.

mark price divergence is literally the silent liquidation killer nobody talks about... seen too many portfolios vaporized because they were watching spot while the oracle was running a different movie entirely
