Who This Is For

Why Start Here
Many people look at the latest price and think everything is clear, but it is often not what really affects liquidation and risk judgment. Most friction at this stage comes from checking Mark price, Latest transaction price and Strong liquidation judgment separately instead of as one flow.
Suggested Path
- First distinguish the positions of the mark price and the latest transaction price on the page, and do not confuse the two numbers as one result.
- Look at which price your floating profits, floating losses and forced liquidation risks are more closely linked to. Don’t just follow the fastest-moving numbers.
- If short-term fluctuations make you very nervous, you should first return to risk judgment instead of immediately adding or reducing positions.
- After the price logic is clarified, leverage and position management actions can be continued.
Checks Before You Act
- Confirm that the current page is really about Mark price before mixing in other issues.
- Review whether Latest transaction price is already clearly shown in the current account, device or path.
- If Strong liquidation judgment is still uncertain, do not rush into the next funding or trading action.
- When Floating profit changes conflicts with what the page shows, pause and review the previous step first.
