Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a liquidation price?
The liquidation price is where the exchange automatically closes your position because your margin is insufficient. At this price level, your initial margin is lost.
Q. Is isolated or cross margin safer?
Isolated margin limits losses to the amount you allocated to that position β risk is capped. Cross margin uses your full account balance, moving the liquidation price farther but risking your entire account. Beginners should use isolated margin.
Q. What is the maintenance margin rate (MMR)?
The MMR is the minimum margin percentage required to keep a position open. On Binance BTC/USDT, it is 0.50% for positions under 50 BTC. If your margin ratio falls below MMR, forced liquidation triggers.
Q. What exactly is the liquidation price?
The liquidation price is the market price at which your position's margin falls to or below the maintenance margin. Once reached, the exchange's automated system closes the position.
Q. Is the liquidation price different for cross vs. isolated margin?
Yes. Cross margin uses your full account balance, so the liquidation price is farther from entry β but a total account wipe is possible. Isolated margin exposes only the allocated amount.
Q. How can I avoid liquidation?
Key strategies: use low leverage (5x or less), always set a stop-loss above your liquidation price, maintain sufficient margin buffer, and use dollar-cost averaging on entries.

Expert Knowledge: Crypto Liquidation Calculator
Liquidation is the automatic closure of a leveraged position when losses approach the initial margin amount. In 2022, over $1.2 billion in crypto futures positions were liquidated in a single day during the Luna/UST crash β illustrating the systemic risk of high leverage in volatile markets.
The maintenance margin rate β the minimum margin required to keep a position open β is typically 0.5β1.0% for major perpetual contracts on Binance. Once your margin ratio falls below this level, the exchange's liquidation engine closes your position. The engine typically closes at a slight discount to market price, meaning actual losses can slightly exceed your initial margin in fast-moving markets.
Professional traders use a 3-layer defense: (1) Position sizing β never risk more than 1β2% of account equity per trade; (2) Stop-loss orders placed 20β30% above the liquidation price; (3) Partial position reduction when margin ratio deteriorates. Avoid the dangerous "revenge trading" pattern of adding margin to a losing position.
