From the beginning FTX has been designed to prevent liquidations when possible, and minimize their impact to the extent we can. Glad to see that showing up despite $2.7b of volume!

I can try to check--we report all liquidations, not just auto-closures, as liquidations so I'm guessing it's all of them, at least for BTC?

I've looked at the data and confirmed that the graphic *is* correct, there have been < $5m of BTC-PERP liquidations on FTX. I totally get why you were skeptical, it's a low number! But I'd watch the way you describe it--"dishonest" was wrong for 2 reasons.

I think the biggest thing is that in a lot of ways FTX encourages risk management (cross margin, larger initial margin unless you use High Leverage, and a different marketing strategy) and BitMEX has fostered an image of "go big and get liquidated"
