For the liquidation line on lending, when I’m three steps away from the red line, I usually stop first: no adding to the position, no bottom-fishing, and no stirring up trouble in the group. First, I take a screenshot of my position and save it to my album, reminding myself, “This candlestick isn’t here to prove I’m right.” Then I do three things: add a little margin to widen the line, or reduce a bit of debt to lower the leverage. If that still isn’t enough, I close the very top portion.

If it gets congested on-chain now and then, a single slip—one swipe from slippage—means it’s not three steps anymore; it’s straight into crossing the line… Lately I’ve been watching those L2 folks argue nonstop, comparing TPS, comparing fees, and comparing subsidies. As for me, I only care whether, at liquidation time, I can repay smoothly and whether I can withdraw cleanly. That’s it for now—don’t let a single long needle “educate” you for an entire evening.
