I'm now looking at borrowing positions, and what I'm most afraid of isn't the sudden liquidation, but the awkward situation of being three steps away from the liquidation line: not taking action makes me nervous, but acting feels like admitting defeat. Usually, I first suppress the "worst-case scenario": either add some margin to widen the distance, or directly reduce positions / pay back some, preferring to earn less rather than be caught off guard when network congestion hits and I can't even press buttons. I also check the slippage and warning messages for automatic sell orders, so I won't find out too late that notifications weren't enabled when the liquidation price hits. Recently, I've been discussing rate cut expectations, the US dollar index, and risk assets rising and falling together... Anyway, I don't really believe this synchronization can stay stable forever; a change in the wind can easily cause a stampede. I'm tired but still here, so I’ll keep the red line farther away and get a good night's sleep.
