Liquidation Profile

Liquidation profile: where long and short positions were liquidated, in USD by price level, stacked in one bar per row over the current period, each UTC day or the bars on screen.

How to read it

  • Long liquidations (red) pile up where price fell through crowded longs; short liquidations (green) where it rose through crowded shorts.
  • The Liq POC is the price with the most liquidations; a thin line runs back over the range to it.
  • Large clusters often mark capitulation or squeeze levels that price may revisit or respect.
  • Each bar's liquidations are spread over the prices it traded, weighted by its volume at price where footprint data covers it.

Key settings

  • Scope: Visible range (default), Current period (day, week for 4h–1D, month above) or Session (one profile per UTC day).
  • Row size auto (about 25 rows) or a number of ticks; value area 70 %; threshold hides small rows.
  • Bar width 12 % of the chart; hollow bars, value-area background, behind candles, values with decimals.

Good to know

  • Drawn on the price pane at the right edge; next to the Volume Profile and the Open Interest Profile when they are on, never on top of them.
  • Crypto perpetuals only: other markets show “No data for this market” in the legend.
  • Liquidation history depends on the venue's feed; the newest bar updates live.
