FAQ
Common questions about this tool, from basics to usage.
What is the difference between exposure and margin?Answer
Exposure is price times quantity. Margin is the collateral required, calculated as exposure divided by leverage.
Which inputs matter most?Answer
Entry price, quantity, leverage, and fees. Those values determine exposure and how much margin is needed.
Can I estimate liquidation here?Answer
No, this tool focuses on margin and exposure. Use the Liquidation Price tool for a rough liquidation estimate.
How it works
Exposure equals entry price multiplied by quantity. Initial margin is exposure divided by leverage. Use maintenance margin only for a rough liquidation approximation because exchanges calculate it differently.
Example
A $10,000 position at 10x leverage needs $1,000 initial margin. Fees reduce usable margin further.
