When liquidation happens
Your position is at risk when your Margin Ratio reaches 100% — this means your equity equals the Maintenance Margin required. On Roxom, you’ll get a warning when your margin ratio approaches 80%, but if it hits 100%:- Your open orders for that contract are cancelled
- The system tries to close your position at or above your Bankruptcy Price
- If there’s any margin left after closing, it goes to Roxom’s Insurance Fund
- If there’s a shortfall, the Insurance Fund covers it so you don’t go negative
Learn exactly how margin ratio, liquidation price, and bankruptcy price work in the Margin & Risk section of our Rulebook.
Example
Position details:- You’re long 1 BTC of GOLD/BTC with 10x leverage
- Initial Margin = 0.1 BTC
- Maintenance Margin = 0.025 BTC
How to reduce your liquidation risk
- Watch your Margin Ratio — Keep it well below 80%
- Add more collateral — Increase margin to your position
- Reduce leverage — Lower leverage decreases margin requirements
- Use Stop Loss — Set a stop-loss order to exit before you get too close
- Monitor your positions — Avoid leaving large positions open without monitoring
See how to set stop orders in the Order Types & Execution Rules section of our Rulebook.
After liquidation
If your position is liquidated:- It will show as closed in your history
- Your margin is lost for that position
- You can keep trading with any remaining available balance in your account
Liquidation protects your account from going negative, but you will lose the margin used for that position.
