For the liquidation line in lending and borrowing—when I’m three steps away from the red line, I usually stop first. I don’t add more positions, and I don’t comfort myself with “it’ll be safe if I just top up a little.” Step one is to split the position: if I can repay, I repay part of it first to pull the health back up; if I don’t want to repay, I reduce the position—don’t rely on prayers for a rebound. Step two is to write out the order of stop-loss and liquidation so that when things really crash, my brain won’t freeze—I need a reminder: staying alive matters more than pride. Lately, the noise about re-collateralization and “shared safety” yield stacking has been pretty fierce; putting it bluntly, the more of a nesting-doll strategy you run, the more you fear a liquidity snap that triggers a chain liquidation… Anyway, I’d rather earn a little less than stake my sense of security on returns that only look “stable.”
