Liquidations widget
Side-docked liquidation distribution map plus a recent-liquidations event feed. See where forced-closes are clustered along the price ladder, and which prints are firing right now.
The Liquidations widget docks beside the chart and shows two things at once: a liquidation distribution map along the price ladder, and a streaming feed of recent liquidation prints. The map tells you where forced-close pressure is concentrated; the feed tells you which prints are happening right now. Together they let you read forced flow as it develops, not after the fact.
Open
- Widget Picker → Liquidations card. Click to toggle on.
- Docks to the right of the chart in a stack with other side-panel widgets.
Distribution map
The top half of the widget is a vertical liquidation map aligned to the price ladder:
- Y-axis — price levels around the LTP.
- Bars — total notional liquidated at each price during the configured lookback window.
- Color — long-side liquidations (red, forced sells) below the LTP; short-side liquidations (green, forced buys) above the LTP. This is the canonical direction — forced sells happen on longs being closed, forced buys happen on shorts being closed.
- Tags — large concentrated zones get a notional label (e.g.
$8.4M) on the relevant row.
The map is a density read — clusters tell you where leveraged-position pressure is sitting and where a wave of forced flow can be expected if price moves into the zone.
Recent feed
The bottom half is a chronological feed of recent liquidation prints:
| Column | Notes |
|---|---|
| Time | Print time, HH:MM:SS. |
| Symbol | Pair + exchange. Click to load on the active pane. |
| Side | Long-liq (red) / Short-liq (green). |
| Price | Liquidation price. |
| Notional | Forced-close notional in USD. |
| Exchange | Source exchange. |
Newest prints at the top. Auto-scroll can be toggled (cog menu).
Lookback window
The distribution map aggregates across a configurable lookback — typical settings 15 minutes to 24 hours. Short windows show fresh pressure; long windows show macro positioning structure. For day-trading flow, 1–4 hours is the standard read.
Threshold filters
The cog menu has:
| Filter | What it does |
|---|---|
| Min liq notional | Hide small prints (e.g. < $10k). Cleans the feed considerably. |
| Exchanges | Pick which venues contribute to the map and feed. |
| Symbol scope | Active-pane symbol only / a watchlist / all USDT pairs. |
| Lookback window | How far back the map aggregates. |
| Side filter | Long-liq only / short-liq only / both. |
Click a print
Click any row in the recent feed → the active chart pane loads that symbol and zooms to the print's timestamp. The chart line lights up at the liquidation level so you can see the print in context with the candles around it.
Performance
The Liquidations widget is light — it's processing a relatively low-rate event stream (forced closes are rare compared to ordinary prints). It can be left open for long sessions without affecting frame rate.
