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 BCH, 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: BCH long at 10x, $1,000 notional

you're long BCH at $306.63, 10x, $1,000 notional. Hyperliquid charges 5.00% maintenance margin at that size: $306.63 × (1 − 1/10 + 0.05) = $291.30.

that's $15.33 of room — 5.00%. bitcoin cash runs about 2.9% between its high and its low on a normal day, 7.0% on the widest measured one. a 3.0% stop sits just outside that noise, and at 20x a single ordinary day against you is already 59% of the margin behind the position. 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 BCH margin brackets, in words

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

hyperliquid prices BCH 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 BCH 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.

Bitcoin Cash specifics

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

read more

bitcoin cash grinds rather than wicks: 3.1% of minute-to-minute movement under a 2.9% typical day. a whole session takes accounts out here, not one candle. $3.6M of forced closes across 904 prints in 7 days, the biggest $391K, 86% of it liquidated longs.

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 BCH 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.

how close is too close to my liquidation price?

there's no safe number, only a number you can survive: a 2% buffer on btc is a normal afternoon; the same 2% on sol is noise. if a routine wick in the coin's normal range can reach your liq, the position is already too big — size it again with the position size alert.

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.
