Bybit’s Liquidation Alert

Bybit has launched the “Liquid Liquidation Alert” function, which allows traders to deploy strategies in advance in contract trading to reduce the risk of liquidation.

When the mark price approaches the preset liquidation price (i.e. 25% of the remaining contract value), the system will send an alert via email, SMS and App notification (if any) to remind you to manage your position.

This feature is applicable to USDT perpetual contracts, reverse perpetual contracts and reverse delivery contracts.

Example

Long position

Trader A holds a 1 BTCUSDT position. The specific data is as follows:

Opening price: $41,940.20

Leverage: 10x

Liquidation price: $37,956

Liquidation Price: $37,746.18

Formula: 25% opening price + 75% liquidation price ≥ mark price > liquidation price

It is calculated as follows:

0.25 × $41,940.20 + 75% × 37,956 = $38,952.05

Liquidation Price = $37,956

$38,952.05 ≥ markup price > $37,956

Therefore, when the mark price is between $37,956 and $38,952.05, Trader B will receive a liquidation alert.

Short position

Trader B holds a 1 BTCUSDT position. The specific data is as follows:

Opening price: $41,894.80

Leverage: 10x

Liquidation Price: $45,874.50

Liquidation Price: $46,084.28

Formula: Liquidation Price > Mark Price ≥ 25% Opening Price + 75% Liquidation Price

It is calculated as follows:

0.25 × $41,894.80 + 75% × 45,874.50 = $44,879.58

Liquidation Price = $45,874.50

45,874.50 > Mark Price ≥ $44,879.58

Therefore, when the mark price is between $44,879.58 and $45,874.50, Trader B will receive a liquidation alert.

Every 24 hours, each position will receive only one alert. Alerts reset every 24 hours, starting with the first triggering alert for that position.

The trigger price of the liquidation alert will be dynamically updated based on the liquidation price of the position.

However, after a liquidation alert for an existing position is triggered, the next liquidation alert will only trigger 24 hours later.

Any changes to a position (such as leverage changes, position size changes or partial closings) will not reset the timing of liquidation alerts.

When a trader closes an existing position or opens a new one, the alert period will be reset exactly according to the data of the new position.

Currently, liquidation alerts cannot be turned off.
