  The liquidation price on BitMEX is determined based on the amount of leverage you are using and the position size. It is calculated using the formula: Liquidation Price = Entry Price - (Entry Price * Maintenance Margin / Leverage). The maintenance margin is the minimum amount of equity you need to maintain in your account to keep your position open. If the price of the cryptocurrency moves against your position and your equity falls below the maintenance margin, your position will be liquidated at the liquidation price.

  Determining the liquidation price on BitMEX is crucial for risk management. It is important to note that the liquidation price is not fixed and can change as the price of the cryptocurrency fluctuates. Traders should always consider the liquidation price when entering a leveraged position to avoid unexpected liquidations.
