Frequently Asked Questions
What is liquidation?
Liquidation occurs when your margin is insufficient to cover losses. The exchange forcibly closes your position to prevent further losses.
How is liquidation price calculated?
It depends on your entry price, leverage, maintenance margin rate, and fees. Higher leverage means a liquidation price closer to your entry.
How can I avoid liquidation?
Use lower leverage, set stop-losses, add margin to your position, and monitor mark prices during volatile periods.
What is maintenance margin?
Maintenance margin is the minimum margin required to keep a position open. If your margin falls below this threshold, liquidation triggers.
