Know how much room you've really got
10x, 20x or 50x leverage does not tell you much on its own. What matters is how far the market actually has to move against you before your position is liquidated.
That is what this tool shows you. Put in your trade and you will see your liquidation price, the percentage move it would take to get there and a danger score from 0 to 100. You can then adjust your leverage, position size or stop loss with a much clearer picture of the risk you are taking before you place the trade.
Step 1. Your position
Which coin, and whether you bet up or down.
Direction
Long profits when price rises. Short profits when price falls.
Asset
Names your position and lets us pull a live price for the big coins.
Step 2. Prices
Where you opened, and where price is now.
Entry price (USD)
The price you opened the position at.
Current price (USD)
The price right now. Your danger is measured from here.
Size the trade for your account
Enter your account size and the share of it you are prepared to risk. This works out the position size that puts exactly that amount at risk at the stop it calculates, and shows where liquidation would sit next to it.It is arithmetic on the two numbers you typed. It does not know your strategy, and it is not a size anybody is suggesting you take.
Your account size (USDT)
Total money in your trading account.
Risk comfort
How much of your account you are OK risking on this one trade.
Suggested setup
Leverage

Reward to risk
2 : 1
Balanced: risk about 2% of your account (200 USD) to make about 400 USD, a 2:1 reward to risk on a 4% stop at 5x. Liquidation sits about 19% away, well beyond the stop. A starting point, not a guarantee.
More settings: leverage, your stop and your target
Step 3. Set your leverage and margin
Choose your leverage and enter how much money you are putting into the position. Together, these determine the total size of your trade and how close your liquidation price sits to your entry.
Leverage, 10x
Leverage multiplies the size of the position your margin controls. Higher leverage also brings your liquidation price closer to your entry.
Margin or collateral (USDT)
The money you put down. With isolated margin this is the most you can lose.
Step 4. Add your stop loss
Enter where you plan to exit if the trade moves against you. This tool checks that your stop loss comes before your liquidation price, so you are planning where to get out rather than leaving the exchange to do it for you.
Stop price (USD)
For a long, enter a price below your entry. For a short, enter a price above it. Leave at 0 if you do not want to add a stop.
Step 5. Add your take profit target
Enter the price where you plan to take profit. This tool shows how much you would make if price reaches your target and compares it with how much you are risking if your stop loss is hit.That gives you your reward to risk before you place the trade. It is the ratio between the two prices you typed, not a judgement about either of them.
Take profit price (USD)
For a long, enter a price above your entry. For a short, enter a price below it. Leave at 0 if you do not want to add a target.
Market conditions
Market Heat
A live look at where traders are leaning heavily in one direction across crypto, stock, index and commodity perps. Funding, open interest and price movement help show when positioning is becoming crowded and squeeze risk may be building. Updated every 15 minutes.
Highest funding rates
- MSTR+21%/yr
- HYPE+11%/yr
- BTC+11%/yr
Positive funding means longs are paying shorts. The higher it gets, the more heavily traders may be leaning long. Negative funding means shorts are paying longs.
Yearly figures assume the current funding rate stays unchanged. Rates can change.
BTC and ETH activity
Uses price movement and open interest to show whether leveraged trading activity is building or staying quiet.
Squeeze risk
Shows whether leveraged positioning is becoming crowded enough to increase the risk of a sharp move as traders are forced out of their positions.
Market Heat is still building enough history for its activity and squeeze readings. Funding data is already live.

How this tool works
How to read your results
- 01
Start with your danger score.
Your danger score runs from 0 to 100 and shows how close your position is to liquidation using the exchange's margin rules. The higher the score, the less room your trade has.
- 02
Check the distance to liquidation.
Look at the percentage move between the current price and your liquidation price. This tells you how far the market would need to move against your position before liquidation.
- 03
Check where your stop loss sits.
If you have entered a stop loss, compare it with your liquidation price. You want enough room between the two for your stop to close the trade before liquidation becomes an issue.

How the calculation works
- 01Liquidation from entry, leverage and the venue's maintenance margin for your size; distance = the gap to entry as a percent.
- 02Market Heat reads the site's radar: funding, open interest and liquidation figures per market, scored 0 to 100.
