Does the Liquidation Fee Factor into the Calculation of the Bankruptcy Price?

Yes, the liquidation fee is factored into the calculation of the bankruptcy price. Since the liquidation fee is deducted from the remaining collateral upon liquidation, it effectively reduces the amount of buffer a trader has.

Therefore, the inclusion of the fee slightly moves the calculated bankruptcy price closer to the entry price, making the position marginally riskier.
