How small a move wipes out your margin

BABA trades at up to 500x here. At 500x, a 0.20% move against you wipes out the whole margin. This ignores fees, funding and maintenance margin, all of which bring liquidation forward. Your actual liquidation price is the one shown on the order page.

BABA is quoted here 24 hours a day and does not stop when the US market closes. On a US exchange the same news only shows up as a gap at the next open.
