  When your position gets liquidated on BitMEX, it means that your margin balance has fallen below the required maintenance margin. This usually happens when the market moves against your position and your losses exceed your available margin. In such cases, BitMEX will automatically close your position to prevent further losses. The liquidation process involves the selling of your position at the prevailing market price. It is important to note that liquidation can result in a significant loss of funds, so it is crucial to manage your risk and use appropriate risk management strategies.
