How to read it. Each band is a range of position value in USD (USDT): inside it you can use at most the tier's leverage, and the exchange liquidates the position when its margin falls below the maintenance margin rate times the position value (minus the deduction, where the exchange uses one). Hyperliquid's rate is half the initial margin at the tier's max leverage. Binance is not shown: its leverage brackets need an API key. Enter the rate in the liquidation price calculator to get your liquidation price. Tables refresh every 6 hours; not financial advice.

Why isn't Binance's CL leverage shown?
Binance publishes its leverage brackets only to API-key holders, so they can't be read from its public API.
