How Crypto Liquidations Work

When trading perpetual futures on exchanges like Binance or Bybit, or when trading crypto CFDs on a prop firm, you are borrowing money (leverage). If the price moves against you and your unrealized losses deplete your available margin, the exchange's risk engine will automatically close your position to prevent you from going into negative equity. This is called a liquidation.

Isolated Margin: Only the funds specifically assigned to the position are at risk. If you are liquidated, you only lose that initial margin. Your liquidation price is much closer to your entry price.
Cross Margin: The position uses your entire account balance as margin. Your liquidation price is much further away, but if the market crashes, you will lose your entire account.
Prop Firm Note: On a funded prop firm account, hitting a liquidation price is an immediate breach of your Maximum Drawdown limit. Always use a stop loss that triggers before liquidation.
