With lending and borrowing, you only realize how fragile your mentality is when you're close to the liquidation line. When I'm three steps away from the red line, I usually stop first and don't add to my position, making sure I understand my position and collateral ratio: either add some collateral (don't go all in at once), or simply reduce the loan amount, putting "survival" first. Honestly, I'd rather earn less than get liquidated by a single spike.
Additionally, I keep an eye on large on-chain transfers. Sometimes, seeing a few big transfers sent to exchanges makes my heart skip a beat... Of course, I often misjudge, and later find out they just changed addresses, which is awkward. Recently, the modular and DAO layer discussions have developers excited, but users are confused. I actually prefer to keep risk control simple: clear rules, slower actions, for now.
