Lending positions feel like they’re only three steps away from liquidation—you know that feeling. Honestly, it’s basically your heart racing, but you don’t want to admit it. My approach is pretty boring: first, reduce the leverage little by little—I’d rather make a little less than get popped by a single needle; then see whether I can top up the margin, topping up only to the point where I can sleep at night; finally, write down the stop-loss/retreat route, otherwise when your hands start to shake, you’ll just click things randomly.
Should you just tough it out and wait for the rebound?
No, a rebound is a gift; risk management is my duty.
Lately, hardware wallets are all out of stock, and phishing links are everywhere… When your position is tight, it’s easiest to click the wrong thing. Anyway, I’d rather move slower—I’ll double-check the addresses and the domains twice, so you’re not stolen before liquidation even happens. That’s it for now.
