liquidation

Recent liquidation events for a specific futures symbol on a specific exchange, newest first. Each event shows side (long/short liquidated), size in USD, and price. Critical for identifying forced selling/buying pressure.

Usage hints:

  • Both exchange and symbol are required (e.g., binance, BTC-USDT)
  • Side='sell' means a long position was liquidated; 'buy' means short liquidated
  • Large liquidations often precede or accompany sharp price moves
  • Use liquidation_feed for cross-symbol firehose view
