How to avoid liquidation
- Use lower leverage so a normal wick does not hit your liquidation price.
- Place a stop-loss above your liquidation price (long) or below it (short).
- Prefer isolated margin so one position cannot drag down your whole account.
- Add margin or reduce size if distance to liquidation shrinks after entry.
- Include fees and funding — they eat margin and move effective liquidation closer.
Formulas
Generic (MMR): Long liq = E × (1 − 1/L + mmr). Short liq = E × (1 + 1/L − mmr). Auto mmr = min(0.5%, 0.5/L).
LeverUp: Long liq = E × (1 − liqLoss/L); short liq = E × (1 + liqLoss/L). liqLoss = 0.85 (≤100x) or 0.80 (>100x, e.g. 1001x BTC/ETH).
