Futures liquidations
How many positions the exchange force-closed in each candle. This is fact, not a model: the server receives liquidations from the Binance, Bybit and OKX streams. The model of future liquidations is on the liquidation map.
How to read it
Section titled “How to read it”- Shorts go up, green: price rose and knocked out shorts.
- Longs go down, red: price fell and knocked out longs.
- A large liquidation spike at an extreme often marks the end of a move: whoever could be flushed has been flushed.
- A series of one side’s liquidations while OI grows: the crowd keeps entering against the move, fuel for it to continue.
Settings
Section titled “Settings”Exchanges and contracts

Default: Longs / shorts.
Data source and limits
Section titled “Data source and limits”Exchanges do not provide liquidation history, so the server collects it itself since it started and keeps it forever. OKX adds about a day of its own history. Before our collection started there is a daily aggregate over all exchanges (Coinglass), in USD only, in a muted colour.
