Calculate your liquidation price at 100x leverage. Understand exactly how a 1% price move wipes your entire margin at maximum leverage.
100x leverage is the extreme end of the spectrum. At this leverage, your position is essentially a binary bet: the market moves in your favor within seconds, or you are liquidated.
The Reality of 100x
Crypto markets have a bid-ask spread and slippage. At 100x leverage, the spread alone can consume a significant portion of your margin before price even moves. Combined with the 0.5% maintenance margin requirement, effective liquidation distance is less than 0.5%.
Why This Tool Exists
Even if you do not plan to trade at 100x, understanding the liquidation math helps you comprehend all leverage levels. The formula is the same — only the numbers change.
The Professional Perspective
No professional crypto trader uses 100x leverage for directional trades. The risk:reward is unfavorable when normal market noise exceeds your liquidation distance. Use this calculator to understand the math, then choose a leverage level that gives you at least 5–10% breathing room.
Leverage
A multiplier that lets you control a larger position than your deposited capital — amplifying both gains and losses.
Liquidation Price
The price at which your leveraged position is forcibly closed by the exchange to prevent negative balance.
Margin
The collateral you deposit to open and maintain a leveraged trading position.
Maintenance Margin
The minimum account balance required to keep a leveraged position open — falling below this triggers liquidation.
At 100x leverage, you are liquidated on approximately a 0.5% adverse move (accounting for maintenance margin). On a $50,000 BTC long at 100x, a move to ~$49,500 triggers liquidation.
Theoretically, 100x can be used for ultra-short scalps where position is held for seconds. In practice, most retail traders using 100x are gambling and will be liquidated quickly by normal market noise.
