Liquidation
Liquitable Account
An account becomes eligible for liquidation whenever either of the following metrics breaches the market’s liquidation threshold.
Liquidation thresholds :
LiquidationRiskRatio
andLiquidationLeverage
are set at the market level.
To reduce Risk Ratio, a user can lower exposure to higher-risk assets.
To reduce Leverage, repaying a portion of the debt is most effective.
At high leverage, both metrics become more sensitive to price swings, so proactive management is critical.
