Common questions
Is there a free alternative to The Kingfisher's LiqMap?
For Bitcoin and Ethereum, Swiftedge's liquidation heatmap is free and needs no account. It estimates liquidation levels from open interest on Binance, Bybit and OKX and publishes how well the estimates matched real liquidations.
How accurate is a liquidation heatmap?
Every liquidation heatmap is a model: nobody outside the exchange knows each position's real liquidation price. Swiftedge checks its estimates against the liquidations that happened and shows the result on the page.
Does Swiftedge show gamma exposure?
Yes. The GEX page and Swiftedge Options show estimated dealer gamma by strike, the call wall, put wall and gamma flip.
