Order sizes are position value (not margin). Margin = position value / leverage.

Coming from a bot that sets take-profit as return on margin, like Blitz? Divide by leverage: a bot TP of 1.5% at 5x is 0.3% here.

How the numbers are calculated

Order n sits step × (1 + m + m² + …) away from the first price, where m is the step multiplier. Each order is the previous one times the size multiplier. The average entry is weighted by quantity, so it is lower than the simple average of the prices for a long.

Liquidation for a linear USDT perpetual: long L = (Q·P − C) / (Q·(1 − mmr)), short L = (Q·P + C) / (Q·(1 + mmr)), where Q is quantity, P the average entry and C the collateral (margin of these orders in isolated mode, the whole wallet in cross mode). Break-even includes the fee on entry and exit.

These are estimates. Exchanges use tiered maintenance margin, mark price, funding and their own fee schedules, so real numbers differ. This is a planning tool, not financial advice.
