When the funding rate turns extremely red, to be honest, I’m really torn. On one side, it’s “this move might reverse—quickly bottom-fish/short it”; on the other, it’s “keep squeezing the bubble—don’t rush to act.” My own principle is: since I’m betting that this extreme funding rate will definitely have an opposing side propping it up, I’d rather stay out of the volatility first and wait for it to cool down before moving—there are plenty of opportunities anyway. But sometimes I can’t help it, and I’ll play with a small position just to test my mindset.

On the security side, I’ve developed a habit recently: even if it costs an extra ten minutes, I always leave a bit of USDT reserve in the contract. If an extreme market liquidates me, I can top up and replenish a position. Also, when I do tasks, no matter how troublesome it is, I always check the contract address and authorizations first. Don’t waste hundreds of dollars just to save a few dollars in gas. Anyway, take it slow—better than getting wiped out.
