The Situation
Recently, the market showed some volatility, and my NEAR/USDT Long position was sitting at a -18% floating loss. While many traders might panic or close their positions in fear, I decided to take a more strategic approach to protect my capital and lower my liquidation risk.
The Move: Strategic Margin Management
I had some profits from a successful BNB trade. Instead of letting that profit sit idle or jumping into a new risky trade, I transferred the remaining funds into my NEAR Margin.
What happened next?
My Liquidation Price dropped significantly from $0.6755 down to $0.4667.
This move gave me a massive "safety net," allowing me to ride out the market fluctuations without the fear of being liquidated.
Why I'm Holding for $1.55
I have set my Take Profit (TP) at $1.55. Based on current market trends, this is a realistic target for a bounce-back. By securing my position with extra margin, I’ve turned a stressful situation into a waiting game.
Key Takeaways for Fellow Traders:
Don't Over-leverage: Using 5x leverage helped me stay in control.
Protect Your Positions: Use profits from winning trades to shore up your struggling ones.
Lower Your Liquidation: Always keep an eye on your Liq. Price. The further away it is, the better you sleep at night.
