Analytical Proof & Invariants

Machine Precision
Governing Mathematical Formula:
Long Liq Price = Entry Price · (1 - [1 / Leverage] + Maintenance Margin Rate)

Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivation

1
Initial Margin Fraction

Initial Margin IMR = 1 / Leverage = 1 / 10 = 10.0%.

2
Long Liquidation Formula

P_liq = Entry × (1 - IMR + MMR). For $65,000 at 10x with 0.5% MMR: $65,000 × (1 - 0.10 + 0.005) = $65,000 × 0.905 = $58,825.00.

3
Short Liquidation Inversion

For a Short position: P_liq = Entry × (1 + IMR - MMR) = $65,000 × (1 + 0.10 - 0.005) = $65,000 × 1.095 = $71,175.00.

4
Distance to Wipeout

Distance = ($58,825 - $65,000) / $65,000 = -9.50%. A normal 10% market pullback liquidates 100% of collateral.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during a crypto futures liquidation? +
When the mark price touches your liquidation price, the exchange's risk engine takes over the position, cancels open orders, closes the trade at the prevailing market price, and transfers your initial margin to the insurance fund.
How does Maintenance Margin affect liquidation price? +
Maintenance margin is the minimum collateral required to keep the position open. The higher the maintenance margin, the sooner liquidation triggers before your account balance hits true zero.
