What is liquidation in crypto trading?
When you trade with leverage, the exchange loans you money to control a larger position. If the market moves against you by a certain percentage, your collateral can no longer cover the loan and the exchange forcibly closes your position — this is liquidation.
How leverage affects liquidation distance
At 2x leverage, a 50% adverse move liquidates you. At 10x leverage, only a 10% move is needed. At 100x leverage, just a 1% move against you wipes your position. Higher leverage dramatically compresses the margin for error.
Cross vs isolated margin
Isolated margin uses only the collateral assigned to that specific position. Cross margin uses your entire account balance as collateral, giving more buffer before liquidation but putting all funds at risk. Always understand which mode you are in.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is liquidation price calculated for a long position?
Liquidation Price (Long) = Entry Price × (1 - 1/Leverage). At 10x leverage entering at $1,000: $1,000 × (1 - 0.1) = $900 liquidation price.
How is liquidation price calculated for a short position?
Liquidation Price (Short) = Entry Price × (1 + 1/Leverage). At 10x leverage entering short at $1,000: $1,000 × (1 + 0.1) = $1,100 liquidation price.
How can I avoid liquidation?
Use lower leverage, set stop-loss orders above your liquidation price, monitor your margin ratio, and avoid putting your entire account into a single leveraged position.
