Risk Management (Liquidations)
What is Liquidation and how to manage your portfolio to avoid liquidation
When Borrowing tokens, it's important to keep sufficient collateral so that you do not get liquidated.
What is 'Liquidation'
  • Liquidation is the process of selling collateral assets to cover the debt.
  • This process is automated by a smart contract.
  • This can happen if the market has volatile price movements, shifting a portfolio position into 'debt'
To avoid Liquidation
  • Add more of the supplied collateral, to improve the collateralization ratio.
  • Or, pay back part of the existing debt.
Users of Banker Joe should maintain proper risk management with their portfolio. Maintain a large buffer between your collateral and borrowed debt to reduce risk of liquidation.
Liquidation Process in Detail
  • Liquidations can happen if market has sudden price movements and cause collateral value < borrowing value.
  • It can also happen, after time, if your total deposit APY < total borrow APY. This means that your borrowing interest rate is greater than your deposit APY.
  • You can monitor your Net APY and borrow limit used to avoid liquidations.
    • Positive Net APY means that your deposit interest will pay for your loan interest.
    • A lower borrow limit used will present less liquidation risk.
    • If borrow limit used increases and becomes too high, you may repay some borrowed tokens, or add more collateral.

How to monitor your liquidation threshold?

Our friends Orbs have integrated Banker Joe to The Open DeFi Notifications Protocol App
This means that as a user, you can set a custom threshold notification to monitor your borrowing health when engaging in lending/borrowing on Banker Joe. This app is fully decentralised, free and monitors on-chain data. When breaching your set threshold, you will receive a notification on your device providing you with enough warning and time to manage your positions accordingly.
You can download the app from here: https://www.orbs.com/notifications-launch/​
