CoinGlass liquidation heatmap vs MarketTrace
CoinGlass's liquidation heatmap draws estimated liquidation levels for BTC pairs on 20 exchanges, with windows from 12 hours to 2 years. Past its default 24-hour Binance view it asks you to log in, and the full version is part of Prime at $28 a month. MarketTrace's heatmap draws the estimate next to the liquidations that actually printed on Binance, Bybit and OKX, states its leverage assumption and its rules, and the 24h map is free without an account. CoinGlass covers more venues and longer history; MarketTrace lets you check the estimate against real liquidations.
| CoinGlass | MarketTrace | |
|---|---|---|
| What the chart shows | Estimated levels: it “predicts the price levels at which large-scale liquidation events may occur”[1] | Estimated levels and the liquidations that printed, on one chart |
| Executed liquidations on the chart | No; CoinGlass lists a separate Liquidation History Heatmap page[1] | Yes: Binance, Bybit and OKX, at the trade price where one is known; liquidations of $1M or more marked with rings |
| Exchanges | One exchange pair at a time (43 BTC pairs on 20 exchanges), or a coin-level aggregate whose sources are not stated[1] | Binance, Bybit and OKX together; Hyperliquid has no liquidation feed and is left out |
| Time windows | 12 hours to 2 years[1] | 24 hours; 7 and 30 days in Pro, not on sale yet |
| Without an account | The default 24-hour Binance BTC/USDT view; another pair, coin or window opened a log-in prompt[1] | The whole page: the 24h map for 9 assets, the levels table and the method |
| Leverage assumption | Not disclosed; the heatmap page has no leverage selector[1][6] | 25x, 50x and 100x in equal parts, stated on the page |
| Method | Described in general terms; no page with the rules[3][6] | Rules, model version (liqmap_model_v1) and coverage limits published |
| Accuracy record | Not stated | Hit-rate against the liquidation tape, published after at least 90 days of tape, with under 1% feed gaps and 30 days on one model version |
| Refresh | Manual refresh button; auto-refresh is part of Prime[3] | Every 60 seconds, no account |
| Assets | Over 2,000 symbols listed; BTC only without an account[1] | 9: BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, XRP, DOGE, HYPE, ZEC, ENA |
| Price | Prime: $28 a month, $78 a quarter or $268 a year[3] | 24h map free; Pro planned at $4.99 a month or $49 a year, not on sale yet |
| Heatmap data by API | Professional plan or higher: from $699 a month, billed yearly[4][5] | The 24h inputs and the liquidation tape as public JSON, no key |
When CoinGlass fits better
You need windows longer than 30 days, a heatmap for one pair on one specific exchange, or one of the 2,000+ symbols CoinGlass lists. Most of that is part of Prime.
When MarketTrace fits better
You want to see whether the estimated levels held up: liquidations from Binance, Bybit and OKX sit on the same chart, those of $1M or more marked with rings, and the hit-rate of the estimate is published once there are at least 90 days of tape, under 1% feed gaps and 30 days on one model version. The 24h map, the levels table and the method are open without an account.
