How is crypto futures liquidation price calculated?

For Long positions: Liquidation Price = Entry Price × (1 - 1/Leverage + MMR). For Short positions: Liquidation Price = Entry Price × (1 + 1/Leverage - MMR), where MMR is the exchange maintenance margin rate.

What is Maintenance Margin Rate (MMR)?

The Maintenance Margin Rate is the minimum percentage of collateral required by an exchange to keep a leveraged position open. For Bitcoin, it typically ranges from 0.4% to 0.5% (Industry Standard / 交易所公开规范).

Understanding Crypto Liquidation Mechanics & Risk Control

1. Why Bankruptcy != Liquidation

Bankruptcy price is where your initial margin is completely 100% wiped out. However, exchanges liquidate you BEFORE bankruptcy (at the liquidation price) so they have enough remaining collateral to cover the Maintenance Margin and pay the insurance fund.

2. The Danger of 20x+ Leverage

At 20x leverage, a mere 4.5% adverse price movement liquidates your entire capital. Crypto daily volatility frequently exceeds 5% to 10% (Industry Estimate / 市场波动经验估算). Professional traders rarely hold overnight positions exceeding 3x to 5x.

3. Always Set a Pre-Liq Stop-Loss

Never let the exchange liquidation engine close your trade. Liquidations incur heavy liquidation penalty fees (often 1% to 2% extra). Always set a manual stop-loss at least halfway between your entry and liquidation price.
