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 Bybit'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 Bybit's bracket table for ENA, 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: ENA long at 25x, $1,000 notional

you're long ENA at $0.2262, 25x, $1,000 notional. Bybit charges 1.00% maintenance margin at that size: $0.2262 × (1 − 1/25 + 0.01) = $0.2194.

that's $0.00679 of room — 3.00%. ethena covers 10.1% between high and low on an ordinary day and 14.3% on its widest measured one. at 10x an ordinary day is 101% of your margin — that, not the slider, is the leverage cap on this coin, and 7.5% is the tightest stop that survives its normal noise. funding at the example rate costs $0.60 a day on this size, and on isolated margin it comes out of that same room.

Bybit's ENA margin brackets, in words

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

bybit's ENA table opens at 1.00% maintenance margin with 50x on offer, and that first step holds all the way to $100,000 notional. above it the rate steps to 1.50%, leverage caps at 33.33x, and that bracket runs to $200,000.

the bracket follows notional, so a winning position can grow into a higher one. this page stores Bybit's first 5 brackets for ENA and holds the last rate flat past them — check very large sizes on the venue itself.

bybit's book is deep enough that liqs clear in one print during normal hours, but it's also historically where the wickiest candles show up in thin weekend conditions — the 2021-era stop hunts were mostly bybit tape.

Ethena specifics

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

ethena sits still, then moves: a 10.1% day on only 6.3% of minute-to-minute movement, so the range arrives in a few candles rather than accumulating. $25M across 3589 forced closes in 7 days, none over 3% of it: attrition, not one event, 84% 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 ENA the first bracket is not the same trade on every venue: binance runs 1.00% to $20,000 at 75x, hyperliquid 5.00% to $20,000,000 at 10x. binance is the cheaper first bracket by 4.00% 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.

walk me through the ENA example on this page

ENA long at 25x, $1,000 notional: entry $0.2262; leverage 25x (bracket max for this size: 50x); maintenance margin rate 1.00%; liquidation price $0.2194; distance from entry 3.00% ($0.00679); funding if held 24h @ example rate $0.60. the full narrative is in the explainer above — and estimate — exchanges compute exact liq from live margin; always double-check on your venue.
