Account Health & Liquidation

Account Health

The PowerTrade platform estimates and displays your account's health rating on the portfolio screen. This estimate is an indicator of how risky the portfolio is. Once certain risk thresholds are crossed, the account could be taken over by our auto-deleveraging system, or could even undergo liquidation.

If you find your account health number getting low, depositing more assets is the fastest way to avoid having your account deleveraged.

Formula

Account health is displayed as a percentage value between 0 and 100. The formula used for calculating account health is as follows:

Health = Available / Assets * 100

where

Assets    = Spot assets and pending settlements

Available = Assets + Unrealized - Margin

For more information on Margin calculation, please refer to this article.
