the short version

how to use this tool

type an entry, drag the leverage, pick a side. the number above is the price where the exchange force-closes you — computed with the venue's actual maintenance-margin brackets, not a flat 0.5% guess. no signup, no api key, nothing leaves your browser except the mark price you asked for.

how this number is computed

your leverage and Hyperliquid's maintenance rate for your size set the room; lower the leverage to widen it.

this page models isolated margin: liq = entry × (1 − 1/leverage + mmr) for longs, entry × (1 + 1/leverage − mmr) for shorts. mmr comes from Hyperliquid's bracket table for ADA, picked by your position's notional.

on cross margin the whole wallet is the buffer, so the real liq floats with your balance — treat this number as the closest the engine could reach you. estimate — exchanges compute exact liq from live margin; always double-check on your venue.

worked example: ADA long at 10x, $1,000 notional

you're long ADA at $0.2544, 10x, $1,000 notional. Hyperliquid charges 5.00% maintenance margin at that size: $0.2544 × (1 − 1/10 + 0.05) = $0.2417.

that's $0.0127 of room — 5.00%. 6.3% high-to-low is an ordinary day on cardano, and the widest measured day in the window ran 10.3%. anything tighter than a 4.5% stop is not a stop, it is a donation: that distance is the coin's own noise floor, not a preference. funding at the example rate costs $0.60 a day on this size, and on isolated margin it comes out of that same room.

Hyperliquid's ADA margin brackets, in words

bigger positions pay a higher maintenance rate, which pulls the liq closer at the same leverage.

read more

hyperliquid prices ADA from its published margin table: the first bracket runs to $20,000,000 notional at 5.00% maintenance margin and 10x max. above that the rate steps to 10.00% with leverage capped at 5x.

the bracket follows notional, so a winning position can grow into a higher one. this page stores Hyperliquid's first 2 brackets for ADA and holds the last rate flat past them — check very large sizes on the venue itself.

hyperliquid runs its book on-chain, so every fill — forced ones included — is public the moment it happens. funding prints hourly, not every 8h, which makes its tape the fastest sentiment read in this list.

Cardano specifics

leave room for Cardano's normal wick, not its average day.

cardano does both: a 6.3% typical day on 4.6% of minute-to-minute movement, 10.3% at its widest, and no pattern to which one gets you. $12M across 3080 forced closes in 7 days, none over 3% of it: attrition, not one event, split 61%/39% long/short.

a stop loss is not a liquidation plan

the wick through your liq is what kills you. the alert reaches you while you can still act.

read more

forced liquidations are market orders into the book that just moved against you, so the fill lands worse than the trigger. and leverage creeps: 5x becomes 10x after a win, and each time you double it the room more than halves.

a stop only triggers, and in a cascade it fills into the same wick as the engine. the alert fires earlier, while you can still close at a real price or add margin and push the liq away. free, no signup.

binance vs bybit vs hyperliquid vs okx for this coin

same position, different venue, different liq: the lower maintenance rate at your size is free room.

on ADA the first bracket is not the same trade on every venue: binance runs 0.50% to $10,000 at 75x, hyperliquid 5.00% to $20,000,000 at 10x. binance is the cheaper first bracket by 4.50% of entry on the same position.

faq

is this liquidation price exact?

no — it's the isolated-margin approximation with your venue's real mmr brackets: liq = entry × (1 − 1/leverage ± mmr). exchanges also deduct liquidation fees and use their own index price, so their number can differ by a few tenths of a percent. estimate — exchanges compute exact liq from live margin; always double-check on your venue.

what's the difference between isolated and cross margin here?

isolated margin risks only the position's collateral; cross margin risks the whole wallet. the formula on this page is the isolated estimate. on cross, your real liq floats with your wallet balance — the more spare balance you hold, the further away liquidation sits, and this page can't see your wallet.

why did my liquidation price move after i opened the position?

mmr brackets are chosen by notional. if your position's value crossed a bracket boundary — because price moved or because you added size — the maintenance rate changed, and the liq price moved with it. check your bracket after any size change.

i already have a stop loss — why do i need a liquidation alert?

a stop loss is a pre-committed exit; the alarm is the room you have left to decide. three things a stop can't do: in a cascade your stop fills as a market order into the wick — at 20x+ the exchange's liquidation engine can fill first, with the insurance-fund fee on top. it can't tell you a funding debit just moved your liq closer. and it can't watch the book at 3am. closing early at a real price — or adding margin to push the liq away — beats being force-closed, and both need the warning, not the trigger. keep the stop. arm the alarm so the exit stays your choice.

what happens when i get liquidated?

the exchange force-closes your position as a market order and takes a liquidation fee (typically ~0.5–1% of remaining notional) for the insurance fund. you keep whatever collateral survives; at high leverage that can be close to nothing. the tape we publish is mostly this event, over and over.

does the exchange liquidate at exactly this price?

the trigger uses the venue's mark/index price, not the last trade, and the forced exit is a market order — so the fill is usually worse than the trigger. treat the liq price as a cliff edge you never touch, not a price you'd actually get.
