Questions
- Which formula does this use?
- The one published in the liquidation documentation: liq_price = price - side * margin_available / position_size / (1 - l * side), where l is one over the maintenance leverage.
- Why does cross margin give a different answer?
- In cross margin the margin available is your whole account value minus the maintenance requirement, so other positions change the result. In isolated it is only the margin you allocated.
- Is the liquidation price a guarantee?
- No. It is the level at which liquidation begins. In a fast move the actual fill can be worse, and above $100,000 the position is closed in slices rather than at once.
