The maths
Long = entry x (1 - 1 / leverage + maintenance rate) Short = entry x (1 + 1 / leverage - maintenance rate)
Isolated margin, one position. Leverage sets the distance and the maintenance rate is the sliver the venue keeps back. Most start at 0.5% and raise it as the position grows.
Worked example
A long on BTC at 60,000 with 10x and a 0.5% maintenance rate is liquidated at 54,300, which is 9.5% below entry.
Why am I liquidated before losing everything?
The venue closes the position while a maintenance margin is still there, so the loss can be covered. That buffer is why the liquidation price sits slightly inside the point where your margin would be gone.
Does cross margin change the answer?
Yes. Cross margin backs the position with your whole futures balance, so the liquidation price sits further away, and a liquidation takes the account with it rather than one position.
Can I move the liquidation price?
On isolated margin, adding margin to the position lowers its effective leverage and pushes the price further from your entry. Reducing size does the same.
