Liquidation is every leveraged trader's nightmare — your position is forcibly closed and you lose your margin. It happens when the price moves against you by (100 ÷ Leverage)%. At 10x leverage that's just a 10% adverse move. At 20x, only 5%.
The best way to avoid liquidation is a stop-loss order set well above your liquidation price. For example, if you're long BTC at $60,000 with 10x leverage and liquidation at $54,000 — set your stop at $56,000. This limits your loss to a defined amount instead of a full wipeout.
Never add to a losing position hoping to avoid liquidation — this is one of the most dangerous behaviors in crypto trading. Instead, pre-calculate your liquidation price with this tool before entering any trade.
Liquidation price is the price at which the exchange forcibly closes your position because your losses have consumed your margin. You lose your entire margin at this point.
For a Long: Liquidation Price ≈ Entry Price × (1 − 1÷Leverage). For a Short: Liquidation Price ≈ Entry Price × (1 + 1÷Leverage). The exact formula varies by exchange based on maintenance margin requirements.
Yes — add more margin to your position (called 'adding margin'), use lower leverage, or set a stop-loss above your liquidation price to exit before being liquidated.
Maintenance margin is the minimum margin you must keep in your account to hold a leveraged position. If your balance drops below it, liquidation is triggered.
No. Binance, Bybit, OKX, and other exchanges have slightly different maintenance margin rates. Always check your exchange's specific formula.
