Formulas used

Exposure, margin, loss Notional N = Q × C × E Margin M = N ÷ L Loss = Q × C × |E − S| + 2·f·N Acct loss % = Loss ÷ Balance × 100 Crypto / futures liquidation (simplified, basic mode) Long : P_liq = (u·E − W) ÷ (u·(1 − m)) Short: P_liq = (W + u·E) ÷ (u·(1 + m)) where u = Q × C, m = maintenance margin rate, W = position margin + extra margin (isolated) or balance (cross) Precise mode (margin-balance model) Long : P_liq = (u·E − W − mA) ÷ (u·(1 − m − f)) Short: P_liq = (W + u·E + mA) ÷ (u·(1 + m + f)) where mA = maintenance amount from the applicable tier, f = taker fee to close Inverse (coin-margined) Long : P_liq ≈ E · L · (1 + m) ÷ (L + 1) Short: P_liq ≈ E · L · (1 − m) ÷ (L − 1) Forex stop-out P_so = E ± (s·M − Balance) ÷ (Q · C · conv) where s = stop-out level as a decimal, ± = long/short Distance, buffer, max safe leverage D_liq = |E − P_liq| ÷ E × 100 Buffer = D_liq − D_stop L_max ≈ 1 ÷ (D_stop + m)

Risk score (transparent weights)

Score = 40% account loss at stop + 25% stop-to-liquidation buffer + 20% liquidation distance + 15% effective leverage. Bands: 0-25 Low, 26-50 Moderate, 51-75 High, 76-100 Critical. A stop beyond liquidation, or a loss above 100% of the account, forces Critical. These weights are this tool's own design, not an industry standard.

Accuracy note: This is a generic estimate. Exchanges and brokers may add maintenance tiers, funding, fees, mark-price rules and cross-margin effects from your other positions, so the real figure can differ. Always verify on your platform. No data leaves your browser.

Common mistakes

Leverage sets the margin deposit, not your risk. Your stop distance and position size set the risk. Entering a stop beyond the liquidation price means the stop will never fire. In forex, enter lots and a contract size such as 100000, not dollars. In crypto inverse, quantity is measured in coins, not contracts.
