Lending positions are just three steps away from the liquidation line—that feeling is more stressful than watching candlestick charts, honestly.
I usually don't bet on rebounds; I first move the red line outward: either add some margin or reduce positions first, better to earn less than get pierced by a needle.
Then I set the automated margin add/remove script parameters a bit more conservatively, don’t rely on quick reflexes—when the network is congested, clicking the button is like playing the lottery.
There's also something I care about a lot: whether the lending pool/contract has upgrade permissions, whether the admin can change parameters—especially in times like these, I fear “the rules change and I’m still in there.”
Recently, the disputes over privacy coins and mixing coins, the compliance boundaries, have been quite intense.
My feeling is: the more torn apart, the easier it is for liquidity to suddenly tighten, and liquidation becomes more prone to chain reactions.
Anyway, I’ve lowered my positions to a level I can sleep soundly, and I’ll adjust the liquidation alert threshold a bit further later—just like that for now.
