Basic understanding of collateral ratios and liquidation risk
Monitoring your position is essential for maintaining a healthy Trove and avoiding liquidation. This guide will show you how to track your Trove's health, understand key metrics, and set up alerts to stay informed about changes that could affect your position.
The Trove dashboard is your primary tool for monitoring your position.

To effectively monitor your position, you need to understand the key metrics displayed on your dashboard.
The collateral ratio is the most important metric to monitor. It represents the value of your collateral relative to your debt.
Safe Zone: Above 200% (Conservative)
Caution Zone: 150% to 200% (Moderate risk)
Danger Zone: 110% to 150% (High risk)
Liquidation Zone: Below 110% (Immediate risk)

The liquidation price is the FIL price at which your Trove would reach the minimum collateral ratio (110%) and become eligible for liquidation.

The current price of FIL relative to USD is displayed to help you understand how close you are to your liquidation price.
Based on your current metrics, the dashboard may suggest available actions to improve your position's health.

While the USDFC application doesn't currently offer built-in alerts, you can set up external alerts to monitor your position.
Set up price alerts for FIL using cryptocurrency tracking apps or exchanges.
Calculate your liquidation price
Set an alert for when FIL price approaches this threshold (e.g., 20% above liquidation price)
Popular platforms for price alerts include CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, or exchange apps

Use blockchain monitoring tools to track your Trove's health.
Find your Trove's address or ID
Set up monitoring using tools like Etherscan, Tenderly, or DeFi-specific monitoring platforms
Configure alerts for significant changes to your Trove

Establish a routine for checking your Trove's health.
If your collateral ratio is close to the minimum (110%-150%):
Check your position at least once daily
Monitor FIL price movements throughout the day
Be prepared to add collateral quickly if needed
If your collateral ratio is in a safer range (150%-200%):
Check your position at least once weekly
Review FIL price trends for the week
Adjust collateral as needed based on market outlook
If your collateral ratio is very high (>200%):
Check your position at least once monthly
Evaluate if you're being too conservative with your capital
Consider strategies to optimize your position

Prepare additional FIL for collateral if needed
Consider reducing your debt by repaying some USDFC
Evaluate if you want to withdraw some collateral
Consider minting additional USDFC
Rebalance your position to maintain your target collateral ratio

Q: How often does the dashboard update? A: The dashboard updates in real-time based on blockchain data and current price feeds.
