Liquidation and the insurance fund

Understand the difference between margin controls and protection against trading losses.

1

Monitor margin before liquidation

Liquidation is a forced risk-control action when a position no longer meets the applicable margin requirements. Review margin, leverage and the liquidation information shown for your position. The trigger can depend on Mark Price rather than the latest trade on the chart.

2

Check the event record

If a position changes or closes unexpectedly, inspect order, trade and position history. Distinguish liquidation from your own exit order, a triggered stop or another operation. Review the affected size, time, reference price and any resulting charges.

3

Understand the fund’s role

An insurance fund belongs to the exchange’s liquidation-risk framework. It is not a personal savings balance, a guarantee of trading returns or an automatic reimbursement of your loss. The applicable product rules determine its use; ask support about a specific event rather than assuming compensation.

Before you continue

Do not wait for an insurance fund to manage your position. Liquidation procedures, any partial reduction and resulting costs are governed by the selected product’s rules.
