If it's going, you don't just want to know when it gets higher than the staking rate, because by that time it's kind of too late, you're losing money.
And then you've got to deleverage and it actually takes time to deleverage.
And I won't go into all the details why.
So that's why it's much better to have it managed by, you know, a 24 hour on team or teams in our case with monitoring with tools.
This is happening now, actually.
There's some big movements of ETH happening in the market.
And so we, for example, have deleveraged some of the position as we saw it growing.
Not when it became unprofitable, but when it's going directionally that way.
