# Tips to Avoid Liquidation

* **Regular Monitoring**: Keep an eye on the market values of both your collateral and the borrowed currency. Be mindful of how accruing interest impacts your overall debt. (See: [Monitoring Your Health)](/liquidation/monitoring-your-health.md)
* **Create a Buffer**: Consider borrowing below the maximum allowed to give yourself a cushion against market changes and interest accumulation.
* **Increase Your Collateral**: If market movements put your borrowings at risk of exceeding the platform's safe threshold, adding more collateral can help secure your position.
* **Reduce Your Borrowings**: Lowering the amount you've borrowed, either regularly or in anticipation of market volatility, can help keep your borrowings within a safe range against your collateral.
