What is a liquidation price?

The liquidation price is the level where your margin is no longer sufficient to keep a leveraged position open. The exchange closes the position automatically to prevent further losses.

How does leverage affect liquidation price?

Higher leverage pulls the liquidation price closer to your entry. At 10x leverage, a ~10% move can liquidate you. At 50x, a ~2% move can do it.

Is the liquidation price exact?

It is an estimate based on maintenance margin rates. Actual liquidation prices can vary by exchange tier, position size, and funding fees.

Risk Control

Keep stops above liquidation and reduce leverage when volatility spikes.

Keep Leverage Low

Lower leverage means more distance to liquidation and more time to manage risk.

Set Stops Early

Place your stop loss well before liquidation to avoid forced exits.

Long: Liq = Entry * (1 - 1/Leverage + MMR)
Short: Liq = Entry * (1 + 1/Leverage - MMR)
