Liquidation Price
The price when the position is margin called.
The margin call price for a position is calculated based on the entry price and amount of collateral provided. The higher the leverage, the lower the collateral amount, therefore the higher the risk of a margin call.
When a position is liquidated, it is closed at the market price, and all remaining collateral is returned to the user.
Positions can only be liquidated using the Mark Price (the price from the price source).
When a position is liquidated, the transaction fee can go up to 1% depending on the price volatility during liquidation.
