I'm just a detail-oriented person who keeps an eye on the lending panel every day... The feeling of being three steps away from the liquidation line is really more suffocating than watching K-line charts.
My usual approach is not to force it directly: first, reduce your position a bit (pay off some debt / add some collateral, whichever gas is convenient), at least bring the health factor back to a sleepable range;
then move the "assets that can be moved at any time" out, don't lock everything on the same chain, or it will be more panic-inducing when you need to top up.
Another rough method: set the alert line two levels before the liquidation line, don't wait until only the last step remains to start running.
Recently, new L1/L2 incentives to boost TVL have been coming out, it looks lively, but many old users complain about mining, harvesting, and selling...
Honestly, during these times, volatility makes it easier to push people toward the red line, so I prefer borrowing less, accepting lower yields, and just staying alive.
Anyway, I don't want to be woken up at midnight by liquidation alerts just because I saved a little interest.
That's it for now.
