Instantly visualize the exact price points where your highly leveraged positions will be liquidated across varying maintenance margin percentages.
Isolated Margin Logic
Base asset (e.g., 1.5 BTC)
X-Axis: Maintenance Margin % | Y-Axis: Leverage
Calculations are based on strict Isolated Margin mechanics. Cross margin accounts utilizing floating PnL will experience dynamic liquidation points.
Trading with leverage amplifies both potential profits and potential losses. When you trade on margin across cryptocurrency exchanges (like Binance, Bybit, or OKX) or Forex brokers, you are essentially borrowing capital to increase your position size. Liquidation occurs when the market moves against your position to a degree where your remaining margin can no longer support the trade.
To understand the heatmap above, you must understand two critical concepts:
The exact price point at which your position is forcibly closed by the exchange's risk engine depends entirely on whether you are using Isolated or Cross margin. Our simulator utilizes the rigid Isolated Margin formula, which is the purest way to assess risk on a single trade.
When high-leverage positions are liquidated, the exchange market-sells the asset, driving the price further down and triggering a chain reaction of subsequent liquidations.
Professional traders never let a position reach the liquidation engine. Always place a rigid Stop-Loss order before the exact liquidation threshold to avoid exchange liquidation fees.
