Horizon Protocol offers three preset strategies for managing your Collateralization Ratio (C-Ratio), catering to different risk levels:

## Conservative Strategy (Lower Risk)

* Target C-Ratio: 1000% (Maintaining a comfortable safety margin)
* Purpose: To maintain a safe buffer above the target C-Ratio.
* Benefits: Lower risk of liquidation but yields fewer rewards.
* For: Users who prefer a safer approach and don't want to monitor their positions closely.

## Neutral Strategy (Moderate Risk)

* Target C-Ratio: 800% (closer to the default)
* Purpose: Balancing risk and rewards.
* For: Users seeking a middle-ground approach between safety and reward maximization.

## Aggressive Strategy (Higher Risk)

* Target C-Ratio: 600% (default)
* Purpose: To maximize rewards by staying close to the target C-Ratio.
* Risk: Higher risk due to a smaller buffer zone before liquidation.
* For: Users who actively manage their positions and aim for maximum rewards.

Choose a strategy based on your risk tolerance and how actively you can monitor your holdings.
