Risk Management
The liquidation price is the market price at which a leveraged position no longer has enough margin to cover its loss, so the exchange closes it forcibly; it sits below entry for a long and above entry for a short, and the higher the leverage the closer it is.
Liquidation is not a stop-loss. It is the exchange protecting itself, and it usually takes the entire margin of the position plus a liquidation fee, often at a worse price than a stop would have achieved. On isolated margin the loss is limited to that position's margin; on cross margin the exchange can draw on the whole account balance to keep the position alive, so a single trade can liquidate everything. Knowing where the liquidation price is, and keeping the stop-loss well inside it, is the basic hygiene of leveraged trading.
AlgoVesta shows the liquidation price of every open crypto position exactly as the exchange reports it, alongside entry, mark price, margin and the stop-loss, without rounding. Because leverage is capped per bot and the stop-loss is placed as a resting order on the exchange, positions opened by AlgoVesta normally have their stop far inside the liquidation level. Isolated margin can be selected in the bot settings so that a liquidation, if it ever happens, cannot spread to the rest of the balance. Position data comes from the exchange's own WebSocket and REST feeds, so the value updates as the exchange recalculates it. See crypto automation for the settings and isolated vs cross margin for the two margin modes.
A trader opens a BTCUSDT long at 60,000 with $100 margin at 10x, so $1,000 notional, in isolated mode. Ignoring fees and maintenance margin, the position loses its full $100 at a 10% move, so the liquidation price is near 54,000; the exchange's actual figure is slightly higher because maintenance margin is required. A stop-loss at 59,400 closes the trade with a $10 loss long before that point. At 50x the same position would be liquidated near 58,800, only 2% below entry.
