Lending positions just three steps away from the liquidation line feel like, frankly, your heartbeat is detaching first... I usually stop and avoid adding leverage, first write down the numbers: how much safety margin is left, how much can be replenished, and whether replenishing will affect cash flow. Then accept the worst-case scenario first: better to proactively reduce some position than wait for the system to do it for me, at least psychologically it’s less passive.

These days, the group is again sharing screenshots about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and various “de-pegging” alerts. I realize that at such times, it’s easiest to slip up and chase after news. Anyway, I set a small rule for myself: only handle actions that can immediately reduce the risk of hitting the red line, don’t argue with emotions. Take it slow, move the position away from the red line, and your mind won’t feel so detached.
