When the lending position is only three steps away from the liquidation line, I usually don't check the group chat or scroll through the K-line first. I focus on calculating the account: how much buffer is left in the current health/ collateral ratio, and whether a single price spike could cause an immediate liquidation. Then I only do three things: reduce leverage (pay off some debt), add cleaner collateral, and pre-list assets that might need to be sold, so I don't panic when the chain gets congested. If automatic stop-loss or alerts can be enabled, turn them on—don't rely on willpower to hold.
Honestly, surviving is more important than "making full profit on this wave." Recently, Meme coins and celebrity shoutouts have become popular again. Beginners are most likely to rush in at the end of attention cycles, ending up with positions already close to the red line, and then getting emotionally driven to add more... It’s really annoying. An old player’s advice: don’t take the last baton, especially don’t use borrowed money to do so. That’s all for now.
