Binance futures liquidations over the past hour totaled about $2.01 million. Long positions accounted for 13.8%, and the largest liquidation was $BTC ($572,000).
Let’s use this figure to break down how liquidations work.
Maintenance margin is the minimum margin required to keep a position from being liquidated. Generally, the larger the position, the higher the required margin ratio.
Reducing leverage, keeping more margin, and setting stop-losses in advance are the most common ways to reduce the risk of liquidation.
Sizing positions based on the distance to your stop-loss is much more reliable than just guessing.
