LIQUIDATION GUIDE
One liquidation. A whole wave. See the events in context.
Liquidation is the forced closure of a leveraged position when its collateral no longer meets exchange requirements. LiqSignal places received events on candles and groups consecutive liquidations into waves.
Open charts →SHORT · above the candle

Wave · event total
Consecutive accepted liquidations of one coin on the same side. The total grows as new events arrive.
Reading the left table
Each row is an event: date, time, exchange, coin, side, USD amount and liquidation price when available. Search finds a coin; the amount threshold filters both the table and left-chart arrows. Sixteen rows are visible, with scrolling for up to 300 records.
How a wave is calculated
For each coin, accepted events above $10,000 on the same side are added together. An accepted liquidation on the opposite side starts a new wave. For example, LONG $21,870 and LONG $16,865 total $38,735. The wave arrow moves to the candle of the latest added event.
Understanding K, M and statistics
K means thousands of dollars; M means millions. Arrow labels show $15,570 as 16K and $1,220,000 as 1.22M. MAX, AVG and MIN in the top-right corner show the largest, average and smallest completed wave totals over the past 7 days, separately for LONG and SHORT.
Frequently asked questions
Why does an arrow amount differ from a row?
Arrow amounts in thousands are rounded up. The right chart shows a wave total, while the left table shows an individual event. Use the tables for exact amounts.
Does a liquidation predict the next price move?
Not by itself. An event records a forced position closure that has already happened. A large wave may accompany a strong move but does not guarantee continuation or reversal.
