LIQUIDATION RISK · FUTURES

Liquidation risk screener:
find conditions worth reviewing.

The screener compares long/short ratios, funding, open interest growth, and price movement. Get matching conditions via push or Telegram to assess risk. It monitors risk conditions rather than liquidations that have already happened.

−3.2%

How to read it: In this illustrative example, the long/short ratio is 3.2 to 1 and funding is 0.15%. The 24h low is 3.2% below the current price. This is a price reference rather than the location of actual stops. A score of 78 out of 100 is not a probability.

Three situations the screener catches

Risk conditions for longs

Longs outnumber shorts by 2× or more, funding is positive, open interest is climbing, price is flat → longs are paying for a position that is not moving.

Risk conditions for shorts

Shorts outnumber longs by at least 2 to 1, funding is negative, and open interest rises. Review these conditions alongside price; they do not predict a short squeeze.

Setup score threshold

Setup score below your threshold — no alert. You only see cases where all four signs line up, not just one.

How it works

We read the positioning

Every 5 minutes we pull the long-to-short ratio for the most liquid pairs. Anything older than 15 minutes is not used — the screener stays quiet instead.

We combine four signs

Position skew, funding cost for the crowded side, hourly open-interest build, and whether price is stalling. Each contributes to a score from 0 to 100.

We send the numbers

The message carries the direction, the position ratio with its source exchange, funding, the setup score and a reference point: the 24-hour low or high.

What arrives when the screener fires

One firing, two shapes. The messenger gets the short form: pair, window, venue and numbers. The feed on the site lays the same coin out line by line and puts the breakdown underneath: where in the indicators the move happened, whether one coin moved or the whole market, what the premium on the Korean exchanges was doing, and whether an exchange announcement landed close in time.

Coin, screener and time

Which pair, which screener found it and how many minutes ago. If the move continues, cards do not pile up: repeats are merged into this one with a counter.
2

What actually happened

The message lines, each with an icon for what it means — the same wording that goes to the messenger. Comparing the message and the card, you read the same thing.
3

The numbers behind the firing

The metrics the condition fired on and the ones next to them: change in price, open interest and volume, the current price within the daily range. The exchange name links to the pair, the links below the numbers open the chart.

Alert breakdown

On top, the answer to "is it worth a look": what happened to the coin after past alerts from this screener, how often it fires and how liquid it is. Below, under "All indicators": positions, funding, indicators, market share and the Korean premium, each number with a plain-words conclusion. The set of metrics depends on the screener.

READY-MADE SETUPS

Start with a ready-made setup

Skew to longs

Skew 2× · score from 65

View conditions

Logic: only pairs where longs outnumber shorts by at least 2× — roughly 67% of participants against 33%. A score from 65 means about three of the four signs line up. Liquidity floors cut the thin pairs: $5M open interest, $10M turnover. One side only — a skew towards longs; forced closing of longs means selling.

Choose setup

Skew to shorts

Skew 1.5× · score from 55

View conditions

Logic: the mirror of the preset above, with a softer floor. Shorts outnumber longs by at least 1.5× — roughly 60% against 40% — with a score from 55. $5M open interest, $10M turnover. One side only — a skew towards shorts; forced closing of shorts means buying.

Choose setup

High score only

Skew 2× · score from 80

View conditions

Logic: a 2× skew is roughly 67% of participants against 33%, and a score from 80 needs effectively all four signs at once. The floors are raised too: $10M open interest, $20M turnover. Both sides, but expect a handful of hits a week rather than a day — each one a reason to look at the coin.

Choose setup

Softer skew threshold

Skew 1.8× · score from 60

View conditions

Logic: a skew from 1.8× — roughly 64% against 36% — with a score from 60, where two or three signs are enough. Marks the skew while it is still building. Softer floors: $3M open interest, $5M turnover. Noticeably more hits, and some of these skews unwind with no move at all.

Questions about the liquidation risk screener

Is a score of 78 out of 100 the probability of a cascade?

No. It is the weighted sum of four observable signs: position skew, funding cost, open-interest build, and a stalling price. There are no outcome statistics behind it, so calling it a probability would be wrong.

Where does the long-to-short ratio come from?

From public Binance data, and from Bybit for pairs Binance does not list. The source is always named in the message: positioning comes from one venue, while open interest, funding and price are read from your own exchanges.

What does "nearest stops" mean?

The alert shows the 24h price low or high as a reference for chart analysis. It does not show actual stops or liquidation prices for individual positions.

How often do alerts arrive?

At most once every 4 hours per pair. This limits repeat alerts; it does not define how long a setup remains relevant.
