I'm now a bit "PTSD" about the liquidation threshold in lending... When I'm three steps away from the red line, I usually stop first, no more leverage. The more I try to make a comeback, the easier I slip up. Then I open my notebook and break down my positions: is it price volatility pushing me closer, or is it the interest slowly eating away (to put it plainly, often it's just me dragging my feet and not managing it). If I can repay, I do it first; if I can't, I reduce my position, cutting away that "must hold at all costs" obsession a little, preferring to lose in a controlled way.

Recently, those new L1/L2 projects are incentivizing to pull TVL, and seeing a bunch of people rushing in to mine and sell, I also get tempted. But I’ve set strict rules for myself: as long as the lending position enters the yellow zone, I won’t chase new mining projects. I’ll wait until the line is pulled back, because life is more important than APR... Anyway, my impulsiveness is impulsiveness, but my ledger still needs to save me.

That’s it for now. I’m going to tighten the threshold alerts a bit more.
