Don't wait until the "just a little bit more" to take action when it comes to liquidation thresholds. I set my own rule: three steps away from the red line, I clear the table. First, cut a portion of the position (even if I’m reluctant), then add a little more collateral or directly repay part of the debt. The goal is the same: widen the safety cushion so you can sleep peacefully. Conveniently, review the authorization and signature records—don’t keep lingering with endless permissions while topping up positions or repaying, as it could cause bigger trouble if something goes wrong.

Recently, some people have been watching large on-chain transfers and unusual activity in exchange hot and cold wallets, shouting "smart money is coming/going." Honestly, a lot of times this stuff is just noise. If your liquidation line is already close, and you’re still jumping around with emotions, you’re basically adding leverage to yourself. Tonight, I kept an eye on the market until my eyes hurt and my neck stiffened. I decided to double-check the alert prices and automatic repayment paths… For now, living is more important than saving face.
