Hey

I wonder why Kraken does not show the liquidation level when making a margin trade  Angry

Now, let assume I have 1 BTC in my account.
I made a 0.5 BTC long position with 5x leverage.
Open position: 18000
Close position: 18500

How do I calculate the liquidation level when my position is closed?

Thanks in advance.

for your particular example, the liq level should be 16,200 USD for an isolated margin trade, + 1-2% of exchange margin cushion + 1-2% of borrowing costs depending on exchange's particular practices for borrowing and protection,

so for the exact details you need to read up on Kraken documentation, this is to give you a general approximate indication of what to expect...
