Understanding liquidation risk

  • At 10x leverage, about a 9% adverse move can liquidate you.
  • At 20x leverage, about a 4.5% move can liquidate you.
  • At 50x leverage, about a 1.8% move can liquidate you.
  • BTC daily volatility can be enough to reach high leverage stops.

What is a liquidation price?

In leveraged trading, a liquidation price is the asset price at which your exchange automatically closes your position to prevent losses exceeding your deposited margin. At liquidation, you can lose your entire margin. The higher the leverage, the closer the liquidation price is to your entry price.

What is the difference between isolated and cross margin?

With isolated margin, only the margin allocated to a position is at risk. With cross margin, your wider account balance can be used to prevent liquidation, which means one losing position can drain more of your account. Exchanges also include fees, funding, maintenance margin tiers, and account equity in their exact liquidation models.

What does this mean?

This calculator is designed to help you understand the likely number before you make a decision or start an application.

Your result should be checked against official UK guidance, especially if your circumstances include dependants, exemptions, prior leave, or a complex immigration history.

Treat the figure as a planning tool rather than legal advice. Where the answer affects an application deadline or major payment, speak to an authorised adviser.
