# Liquidation

If you have a Buy offer accepted by a Seller or you accepted a Sell offer from a Seller and the seller didn't settle the offer within the settlement phase you will receive a part of seller's collateral locked. The amount of collateral is based on the number of days since the acceptance of offer at the end of settlement phase. 

The equation for the liquidation curve below determines the amount of collateral you will receive as a buyer on liquidation.

If the ***climb rate*** is represented by **cr**, ***days passed*** since the order was filled is **dp** and ***collateral*** is represented by **c**. Then following formulae denotes the path of the curve

$$
y = c \times \frac{cr \cdot dp^2}{1 + cr \cdot dp^2}
$$

No action needed.
