Risk-Free Exit Plan
Mark price has moved past your break-even. Closing 9.3% of the position now (0.009339 units) would return your original margin of $600, leaving the remaining 0.090661 units running with zero capital still at risk on this trade.
This is a planning estimate assuming execution at the current mark price, and actual fills may differ due to slippage.
Planning the Whole Trade, Not Just the Entry
Most traders think in terms of a single number, the entry price, and treat everything else as an afterthought to work out once the position is already open. The Trade Planner is built around a different idea. Liquidation price, break-even price, and your exit plan are all knowable before you click buy, and knowing them in advance changes how a setup actually looks.
Break-Even Includes Fees, Not Just Entry Price
A common simplification is treating your entry price as your break-even price, but every position pays trading fees on both the way in and the way out. This tool asks for an estimated round-trip fee percentage and calculates your true break-even as entry price adjusted by that fee. For a long, break-even sits slightly above entry. For a short, slightly below. On a $60,000 entry with a 0.08% round-trip fee, that's a breakeven of $60,048, a small gap, but one that matters when you're deciding whether a marginal move in your favor is actually profitable yet.
The Liquidation Price Ladder
The visual ladder plots your mark price, break-even price, and liquidation price on a single scale so you can see the relationship between them at a glance, rather than comparing three separate numbers mentally. Liquidation price is calculated from your entry, leverage, and the maintenance margin rate, the exchange-defined buffer, commonly around 0.4% of position value for large-cap pairs, below which a position gets forcibly closed.
| Leverage | Approx. Move to Liquidation (Long, 0.4% MMR) |
|---|---|
| 5x | ~19.6% |
| 10x | ~9.6% |
| 25x | ~3.6% |
| 50x | ~1.6% |
The Risk-Free Exit Plan
Once mark price moves past your break-even, the planner surfaces a specific, actionable idea. Close the portion of your position that returns exactly your original margin, and let the remainder run with zero capital still at risk on the trade. This is a common professional technique, sometimes called "taking the house's money off the table," that turns an open position from "capital at risk" into "pure upside" the moment it becomes mathematically possible.
None of these figures are exchange-guaranteed quotes. Tiered margin brackets, accrued funding, and exact fee schedules vary by venue. Treat this as a fast, consistent pre-trade sanity check, and confirm exact numbers on your exchange's own order screen before placing a leveraged trade.
