A liquidation occurs when your position moves against you and your account equity falls below the required maintenance margin.
When this happens:
Your position is automatically closed by the system
You will see “Market Liquidation” in your Trade History
The position size will be reduced to zero (or partially reduced if partial liquidation applies)
Your available balance and margin will update accordingly
Liquidations are triggered based on mark price and maintenance margin requirements, not just last traded price.
