Understanding Liquidation Risk in Futures Trading

What is Liquidation?

Liquidation occurs when your losses reach the value of your initial margin. At this point, the exchange automatically closes your position to prevent further losses.

Factors Affecting Liquidation

Leverage (higher = riskier)
Market volatility
Funding rates (for perpetual futures)

Risk Management Tips

Use lower leverage (5x or less for beginners)
Set stop-loss orders
Monitor positions regularly

Liquidation Price Formula

Liquidation Price = Entry Price × (1 - 1/Leverage)

For long positions. For short positions, the formula is: Entry Price × (1 + 1/Leverage)
