The liquidation line in lending, when I'm three steps away from the red line, I usually stop myself first and avoid being stubborn... Basically, it's about reducing leverage first: pay off what you can, or add some margin to create more room. Don't expect "just a little more and it won't crash," the market specifically targets these moments to teach people a lesson.

And also, don't operate aggressively when the chain is most congested. Recently, there's been complaints about miners/validators being overfed and MEV making transaction ordering very mysterious. You think clicking a button will secure you, but delays in the queue can directly wipe you out. Anyway, my discipline relies on reminders: when you're three steps from the red line, pull out immediately—staying alive is more important than face.
