  If you default on your BitMEX margin trading position, you may face liquidation. BitMEX has an auto-deleveraging system in place to ensure that positions are closed in the event of default. This means that if your position cannot be closed at the bankruptcy price, the system will start to deleverage positions of other traders in the opposite direction to cover the losses. This can result in a partial or complete loss of your position.
