#美国非农就业数据未达市场预期 The liquidation logic in contract trading really needs to be well understood. I once encountered something outrageous — when shorting, the opening price was 0.007875, and the liquidation price was set at 0.007980. At that time, the mark price dropped to 0.007850, and by calculation, my floating profit should have been around 16%. But just a few seconds before I was about to close the position, the liquidation was triggered. Customer service later explained that because the transaction price was relatively "ideal," after deducting the liquidation loss from my over $50,000 principal, they left me with a profit of $9,000. Sounds like I made a profit? But the problem is — the gap between the mark price and the actual transaction price unexpectedly became the trigger for my liquidation. The most exaggerated part is that later, the price even spiked back to the level I wanted to close at, just a few seconds too late. The position with a 16% floating profit was ultimately completely wiped out by the liquidation mechanism. The matching logic and time lag behind this are definitely worth traders reflecting on. Risk management in contract trading, sometimes just looking at the numbers isn't enough.

this is exactly the dark forest in action—mark price vs execution price gap is the perfect sandwich attack vector. liquidation engine doesn't care if you were up 16%, it's designed to extract maximum value at the worst possible moment. that few-second delay? classic MEV extraction wrapped in "market conditions." the system isn't broken, it's working exactly as intended—just not for us.

The gap between the mark price and the transaction price is really the exchange's meat grinder. I’ve looked at on-chain data, and this kind of time-delay manipulation pattern is especially obvious before and after liquidations. The fund flow of large addresses can reveal clues... Fifty thousand dollars go in, nine thousand come out. Where did the price difference go?

This exchange is really playing word games. The difference between the marked price and the transaction price in just a few seconds can determine your life or death. It's outrageous.

This is the most disgusting part of contract trading—the one-second time difference can wipe out all your profits.

That's the exchange's trick, mark price vs. transaction price, always trapping you for those few seconds.

This is the dark side of contracts. A few seconds of lag can determine whether you make a profit or a loss. It's really frustrating.
