Isolated-Margin Grid Calculator

Direct answer

The isolated-margin grid calculator estimates liquidation for a position backed only by its own margin, so the trigger depends solely on that position's margin and leverage; isolated mode caps risk to one position but that position liquidates more easily.

The isolated-margin grid calculator estimates liquidation for a position backed only by its own margin — the price depends solely on that position's margin and leverage.

Key data & facts

Example margin
500
Leverage
5×
Liquidation
≈ avg ×(1−(1−mmr)/5)

What is the Isolated-Margin Grid Calculator?

Isolated caps risk to one position so other losses cannot liquidate it, but the position itself liquidates more easily.

How to use

  1. Enter the model parameters.
  2. Calculate to see results.
  3. Cross-check the worst case with risk tools.

Model notes

Model assumptions
Estimated with page parameters under a simplified grid model
Capital per grid and fees follow the page assumptions

Live execution must include exchange rules and slippage.

Example

500 margin at 5× → liquidation ≈ avg ×(1−(1−mmr)/5).

Practical tips

  • Check where liquidation sits versus the grid lower bound.
  • Compare with cross mode before choosing.

FAQ

Are results guaranteed?

No. They come from simplified models under the page assumptions and do not promise future returns.

Does this tool predict price direction?

No. It only computes outcomes for the parameters you enter.

How should I manage the added risk?

Use the risk, drawdown and liquidation tools before starting, and trade at your own risk.
