  When a trader's position on BitMEX is liquidated, it means that their position has been forcibly closed by the exchange due to insufficient margin. This can happen when the price moves against the trader's position and their margin balance falls below the required maintenance margin. Liquidation can have a significant impact on the trader's margin, as it can lead to a loss of funds and potentially result in a margin call. Additionally, liquidation can also affect the trader's unrealized PNL, as any open positions that are liquidated will be closed at the current market price, which may result in a profit or loss for the trader.
