Liquidation

PreviousFees & Price ImpactNextPrice Feed

Last updated 6 months ago

All open positions are subject to liquidation when the position’s equity value (collateral + PnL - fees) drops below 10% of the initial collateral size.

Liquidation Threshold Factor

The liquidation threshold factor is currently set to 10% for all pairs. This means that if the net PnL (PnL - fees) of your position is below -90%, the position is subject to being liquidated.

Liquidation Price

The liquidation price of a position may be changed over time as funding fee accumulate to the position's value.

LiqPrice=EntryPrice⋅(1−CollateralSize⋅LiquidationThresholdFactor−ExitFee−FundingFeesPositionSize)LiqPrice = EntryPrice \cdot (1 - \frac{CollateralSize \cdot LiquidationThresholdFactor - ExitFee - FundingFees}{PositionSize})LiqPrice=EntryPrice⋅(1−PositionSizeCollateralSize⋅LiquidationThresholdFactor−ExitFee−FundingFees​)

where

  • ExitFee is the amount of that is proportional to the position size.

  • FundingFees is the amount of cumulative of the position.
