Frequently Asked Questions
What is liquidation in crypto trading?
Liquidation occurs when your margin balance can no longer support your leveraged position, and the exchange forcefully closes it.

It depends on your entry price, leverage, and whether you're long or short. Higher leverage means a tighter liquidation price.
How can I avoid liquidation?
Use lower leverage, set stop losses, maintain adequate margin, and never risk more than you can afford to lose.
