# Liquidations

The **Liquidation** measures the **actual amount of long and short liquidations** that occurred within a specific timeframe (e.g., candle period). It captures the total value of positions forcefully closed due to insufficient margin, providing insights into real-time liquidation activity rather than predicted price levels.

#### **Key Components:**

* **Long Liquidations:** The total value of long positions forcefully closed during the timeframe.
* **Short Liquidations:** The total value of short positions forcefully closed during the timeframe.
* **Delta Liquidations:** The difference between long positions and short positions forcefully closed during the timeframe.
* **Total Liquidations:** The combined value of long and short liquidations within the period.

**Trade Size Buckets**

Liquidations can be displayed for various size buckets. Users can choose from ranges like 0 to 100, 1k to 100k, and so on, up to 'Infinity'. This feature allows traders to analyze market behavior in different segments:

* **0 to 100 (Smallest)**
* **100 to 1k (Smaller)**
* **1k to 10k (Small)**
* **10k to 100k (Medium)**
* **100k to 1m (Large)**
* **1m to 10m (Larger)**
* **10m to Infinity (Largest)**
