Question 1

What is a likidasyon price?

Accepted Answer

A likidasyon price is the price level at which your margin balance falls below the sürdürme teminatı requirement, triggering the automatic closure of your position. When trading with kaldıraç, if the market moves against your position significantly, your losses can approach or exceed your başlangıç teminatı. The likidasyon price is calculated to ensure the exchange can close your position before your losses exceed your collateral.

Question 2

How is likidasyon price calculated on Hyperliquid?

Accepted Answer

On Hyperliquid, the likidasyon price is calculated based on your giriş fiyatı, pozisyon büyüklüğü, kaldıraç, and the sürdürme teminatı rate. For long positions, likidasyon occurs when the price drops enough that your unrealized loss equals your başlangıç teminatı minus the sürdürme teminatı. For short positions, it's when the price rises to that threshold. The formula accounts for the sürdürme teminatı requirement (typically 0.5% for most assets) to ensure positions are closed before they go into negative equity.

Question 3

What is the sürdürme teminatı on Hyperliquid?

Accepted Answer

The sürdürme teminatı on Hyperliquid is typically 0.5% for most perpetual contracts. This is the minimum amount of margin you must maintain in your account relative to your pozisyon büyüklüğü. If your margin falls below this level, your position will be liquidated. Different assets may have different sürdürme teminatı requirements based on their volatility and liquidity.

Question 4

How can I avoid likidasyon?

Accepted Answer

To avoid likidasyon: 1) Use lower kaldıraç - this gives your position more room to move against you. 2) Set stop-losses before your likidasyon price. 3) Monitor your positions regularly. 4) Add more margin to your position if it's moving against you. 5) Reduce your pozisyon büyüklüğü if the market becomes volatile. 6) Never risk more than you can afford to lose.

Question 5

What's the difference between isolated and cross margin?

Accepted Answer

Hyperliquid uses cross-margin by default, meaning all your account balance serves as collateral for all open positions. This provides more flexibility but also means losses in one position can affect your other positions. Understanding this is crucial for risk management, as a large loss in one position could potentially liquidate multiple positions if it depletes your account margin.

Question 6

What happens when I get liquidated?

Accepted Answer

When your position reaches the likidasyon price, Hyperliquid's likidasyon engine automatically closes your position. The remaining margin after covering the loss goes to the insurance fund if there's any left, or the insurance fund covers any shortfall. You lose your başlangıç teminatı for that position. There's no additional penalty beyond losing your margin, but the loss can be significant when using high kaldıraç.

Question 7

Why is my actual likidasyon price different from the calculator?

Accepted Answer

Several factors can cause differences: 1) fonlama oranıs - accumulated positive or negative funding affects your margin. 2) gerçekleşmemiş PnL from other positions in cross-margin mode. 3) Partial close or position adjustments. 4) Different sürdürme teminatı rates for specific assets. 5) Rounding in the exchange's calculations. This calculator provides an estimate - always verify with the actual likidasyon price shown in your trading interface.

Question 8

What kaldıraç should I use?

Accepted Answer

There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but generally: beginners should use 2-5x kaldıraç maximum. Even experienced traders rarely exceed 10x for swing trades. Higher kaldıraç (20x+) is extremely risky and should only be used for very short-term trades with tight stop-losses. Remember: higher kaldıraç means higher potential returns but also higher risk of likidasyon. A 50x leveraged position only needs a 2% move against you to be liquidated.
