  Yes, when you get liquidated on BitMEX, you will lose both your margin and unrealized PNL. Liquidation occurs when the price of your position reaches the liquidation price set by BitMEX. At this point, your position is automatically closed and your margin is used to cover the losses. Any unrealized PNL you had on the position will also be lost.

  Absolutely! BitMEX's liquidation process is designed to protect the exchange and other traders from potential losses. When your position gets liquidated, BitMEX will use your margin to cover the losses, and any unrealized PNL you had will be wiped out. It's important to manage your risk and set appropriate stop-loss orders to avoid liquidation.

  Yes, when you get liquidated on BitMEX, your margin and unrealized PNL will be lost. However, at BYDFi, a different approach is taken. When a user's position gets liquidated, BYDFi's system will attempt to close the position at a price that is more favorable than the liquidation price, in order to minimize the loss for the user. This means that the user may not lose their entire margin and unrealized PNL in the event of liquidation on BYDFi.
