Abstract generation in progress

Successful trading requires not only choosing the right asset but also carefully planning each position. The two-component tool system—an averaging calculator and a liquidation calculator—gives traders full control over entry and risk. These tools allow you to plan your strategy before opening a trade, significantly reducing the likelihood of unwanted losses.

Averaging Calculator: Optimizing Entry Price

The averaging calculator solves the classic position management problem—what to do if the market moves against you but you want to improve your average entry price? The tool calculates the optimal average cost when adding additional funds to an open position. This is especially useful when using scaling-in techniques or averaging down on losses. Traders can see which price levels to target to improve their basis cost and can plan points for additional purchases or re-evaluating the position in advance.

Determining the Liquidation Price to Protect Capital

The second key function is calculating the liquidation price for long positions (buy) and short positions (sell) simultaneously in isolated margin and cross-margin modes. Liquidation occurs when the collateral falls below a set level, automatically closing the position and stopping further losses. The calculator shows this critical price in advance, helping traders understand the real risk of their trade and choose the right position size or leverage level.

How to Get Started: Step-by-Step Guide

The interface of the tool is extremely simple. Just fill in a few designated fields with your planned or current trade data—position size, entry price, margin level, leverage. The system instantly performs all necessary calculations and displays two key values: the new average price (if using the averaging calculator) and the liquidation price. This approach eliminates manual calculation errors and saves analytical time.
