That liquidation threshold in lending, really don't wait until it "gets close" to realize. When I'm three steps away from the red line, I usually stop first—no adding to positions, no bottom-fishing—just draw a small map of my holdings: which ones can be repaid at any time, which are the biggest drag on my collateral. Then prioritize two small actions—adding some margin or paying off a debt—to improve my health factor; then swap out volatile collateral for more stable ones, even if it means earning less, so I don't get blown up by a sudden spike.
Honestly, liquidation isn't a prediction game; it's a reaction speed game. Especially now, with attention spans flying fast, a Meme or a celebrity's comment can send prices flying past you. Veteran traders advise newcomers not to take the last hit—I agree. When emotions start to take over, keep the liquidation line at a safe distance. If you miss it, so be it—I won't chase. That's all for now.
