A 10x BTC long at $60,000 with 0.5% maintenance margin liquidates near $54,300 before exchange-specific buffers.

Hexaplan verdict

High leverage makes small moves dangerous. Check liquidation before entering.

Liquidation price estimate

The estimate starts with entry price, leverage, and maintenance margin to approximate the adverse move that can liquidate the position.

Liquidation example

A 10x long has roughly 10% adverse room before maintenance margin and fees reduce the buffer.

Common crypto leverage mistakes

Ignoring funding and fees.
