The position hasn’t changed, so why has the liquidation price quietly shifted?
The larger the position, the higher the maintenance margin rate. With the same leverage, a larger position will have a liquidation price closer to the entry price.
In cross margin mode, the liquidation price mainly depends on the account balance and position size. Unrealized P&L on other cross-margin positions can also cause it to change.
Understanding this won’t make me money right away, but it can help me avoid a rookie mistake.
Keep extra margin in your futures account—don’t let a single wick liquidate your position.
