Frequently Asked Questions
Liquidation price is the price at which your leveraged position is automatically closed to prevent further losses. When the market reaches this price, your margin is insufficient to maintain the position, and the exchange liquidates it.
For a long position: Liquidation = Entry Price × (1 - 1/Leverage + Maintenance Margin). Example: $100 entry, 10x leverage, 0.5% maintenance = $100 × (1 - 0.1 + 0.005) = $90.50. The position liquidates if price drops to $90.50.
Use lower leverage (5x or less for beginners), set stop losses above liquidation price, add margin before liquidation, and never use your entire balance as margin. Keep liquidation price at least 20-30% away from entry.
You lose your entire margin (collateral) for that position. Some exchanges also charge a liquidation fee (0.5-1%). You cannot recover losses from liquidation. This is why risk management and proper position sizing are crucial.
