Does MEXC factor the liquidation fee into the trigger?

Not in isolated margin — the formula has no fee term. In cross margin, MEXC's own documentation explicitly makes the liquidation fee part of the trigger condition.

What determines the maximum leverage on MEXC?

Position notional (margin × leverage). MEXC is known for very high leverage (up to 200x on some pairs) and a wide range of meme and niche coins.

MEXC doesn't factor the fee into the trigger in isolated mode — just like Binance. Cross margin uses a different formula that does include a fee term.

Isolated margin only. Cross margin depends on your whole account balance and isn't modeled here.

Very large positions get liquidated in steps on MEXC (partial liquidation).

Auto-deleveraging (ADL) can close a position in extreme cases regardless of the liquidation price.

What sets MEXC apart from other exchanges

MEXC publishes its isolated margin formula openly: Liquidation price = (Maintenance margin − position margin + entry × quantity × contract size) / (quantity × contract size) — with no fee term. MEXC itself notes that actual figures may vary slightly due to fees.

On MEXC in particular, it's worth watching contract size: tokens like PEPE often trade under symbols like "1000PEPEUSDT", where one contract represents 1,000 units of the token. That doesn't change the percentage math, but it does affect how you enter position size.
