Formula and methodology
Formula: Notional = entry price × quantity × multiplier; maintenance margin = notional × maintenance percentage / 100; loss capacity = account equity − fees − maintenance margin; adverse price move = max(0, loss capacity) / (quantity × multiplier); illustrative liquidation price = entry − adverse move for long or entry + adverse move for short.
This simplified scenario shows how a maintenance threshold can be translated into a price distance for one isolated position. It is deliberately labelled illustrative because broker mark prices, tiers, fees, funding, cross-margin balances, and liquidation rules vary.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Entry price — price units; minimum 1.0E-8; maximum 1000000000
- Quantity — contracts or units; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000000
- Contract multiplier — price units / contract unit; minimum 1.0E-8; maximum 1000000000
- Account equity — account currency; minimum 0.01; maximum 1000000000000
- Initial margin percentage — %; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 100
- Maintenance margin percentage — %; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 100
- Fees and funding — account currency; minimum 0; maximum 1000000000
- Position direction — 2 choices
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Entry price | 100 |
| Quantity | 1 |
| Contract multiplier | 100 |
| Account equity | 5000 |
| Initial margin percentage | 10 |
| Maintenance margin percentage | 5 |
| Fees and funding | 50 |
| Position direction | long |
Notional is 10,000, initial margin is 1,000, maintenance margin is 500, equity after fees is 4,950, loss capacity is 4,450, and the illustrative long threshold price is 55.50.
Assumptions and limits
- The position is treated as isolated and uses the entered account equity only.
- Entry price, quantity, and multiplier define a positive notional exposure.
- Maintenance margin is a percentage of entry notional in this model.
- Fees and funding are deducted before computing loss capacity.
- Long positions lose when price falls; short positions lose when price rises.
- The liquidation threshold is based on a linear price-to-P&L relationship.
- If loss capacity is negative, the adverse move is shown as zero.
- Mark price, maintenance tiers, partial liquidation, gaps, and cross-margin are excluded.
- The result is not a broker liquidation quote or a guarantee of account protection.
