How do I calculate LTC liquidation price?

Enter your LTC entry price, leverage and direction. Liquidation = Entry x (1 - 1/Leverage + MMR) for a long and Entry x (1 + 1/Leverage - MMR) for a short.

At what percentage is a LTC position liquidated?

Roughly 1/Leverage minus the maintenance margin. A 10x LTC position is liquidated after about a 9-10% move; 100x after about 1%.

How LTC liquidation works

Litecoin is an older, comparatively steady large-cap, but leverage still puts liquidation close to entry. Liquidation happens when losses eat through the margin backing your position. The isolated-margin estimate is Entry × (1 − 1/Leverage + MMR) for a long and Entry × (1 + 1/Leverage − MMR) for a short, where MMR is the maintenance margin rate.

Worked example — 10× LTC long

A 10× LTC long entered at $70 with a 0.5% maintenance margin rate is liquidated at about:

Move to liquidation−9.50%

Because LTC can move fast, keep your stop-loss well inside that level and size by risk. See how to size a position and how to avoid liquidation.
