# Visualizing Strategy Risk

The following chart illustrates how different LVF configurations affect your liquidation buffer. It shows the **% decrease in pTKN required to reach liquidation**, based on different leverage profiles.

**Breakdown of Strategies:**

* 🟢 **Standard LTV (2.0x Leverage)**\
  A typical LVF setup using only the user’s pTKN and borrowed paired asset. Provides a strong buffer (up to 64%) before liquidation.<br>
* 🟡 **Looped LTV (2.33x Leverage)**\
  A more aggressive strategy where the user borrows against their LP, uses the borrowed paired asset to buy more pTKN, and loops it into a new LVF position. This reduces the buffer to 53%.<br>
* 🔵 **Withdrawn LTV (2.33x Leverage)**\
  Similar borrowing profile to the looped strategy, but the paired asset is withdrawn and not recycled back into the system. This configuration is the most aggressive, with only a 36% buffer.<br>

These variations illustrate how **strategy choice impacts liquidation risk**. Leverage is not inherently unsafe but understanding how it affects your liquidation buffer and managing your strategies within your risk tolerance is essential.
