Uniswap Margin Call & Liq Alert on Bybit

a stock margin call is a warning with a deadline. a perp never asks: when equity drops under maintenance margin the engine force-closes at liq = entry × (1 − 1/leverage + mmr) for a long — with Bybit's real UNI bracket, 0.67% at the first step.

so the call price is where the decision stops being yours. above it you still choose: close, add margin, or hold.

you're long UNI at $8.137, 25x, $1,000 notional — $40 of margin posted. Bybit charges 0.67% maintenance margin at that size: $8.137 × (1 − 1/25 + 0.0067) = $7.866.

there is no earlier call: that price is both the warning and the event. your room is $0.271 (3.33%), and funding — $0.60 a day at the example rate — spends it while you hold. estimate — exchanges compute exact liq from live margin; always double-check on your venue.

bybit's UNI table opens at 0.67% maintenance margin with 75x on offer, and that first step holds all the way to $10,000 notional. above it the rate steps to 0.71%, leverage caps at 70x, and that bracket runs to $15,000.

this page stores Bybit's first 5 brackets for UNI 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.

uniswap does both: a 5.2% typical day on 4.5% of minute-to-minute movement, 8.2% at its widest, and no pattern to which one gets you. $13M across 2375 forced closes in 7 days, none over 3% of it: attrition, not one event, 84% of it liquidated longs.

on isolated margin the position's own margin is the whole buffer, so entry, leverage and bracket fix the call price — every number on this page is that case.

on cross the wallet backs the position, so the line moves with your balance and your other positions, and a cross call can take the whole wallet. treat the isolated number as the closest the engine could reach you.

close: before the call you exit at a real price; at the call you fill into the wick, plus the venue's liquidation fee.

add margin: more collateral lowers the effective leverage and pushes the call away — and puts more on the table if the wick gets there anyway.

hold, knowingly: fine when the wick is part of the plan and the size was built for it. the alert below makes sure the warning reaches you while all three are still open. free, no signup.

on UNI the first bracket is not the same trade on every venue: binance runs 0.60% to $10,000 at 75x, hyperliquid 5.00% to $20,000,000 at 10x. binance is the cheaper first bracket by 4.40% of entry on the same position.
