Worked example
Imagine $2,000 of eligible cash collateral supporting two positions. One loses $600 and the other gains $100, leaving $1,500 of equity before fees and funding. Both positions depend on that remaining pool. If the winning position then loses $300 of value, equity falls to $1,200 even if the first price stands still.
Using Swolecharts
The liquidation price calculator helps explore one position's price sensitivity. It does not read your account or reconstruct all cross-margin exposures; compare its assumptions with the venue's account margin display.
Common confusion
Cross margin is not a fixed loss limit per trade. Only eligible collateral in the relevant account is shared, and collateral discounts or other positions can change the available buffer.
