Margin trading and liquidation

Hi everyone. I am having trouble understanding how the margin trading on Coinbase works. If I deposited $10,000, Coinbase gives me another $10,000 to use for trading. What I dont understand is how/when I can become liquidated and what happens if I do. For example, if I buy in today at the current Bitcoin price with $20,000 (using my $10,000 and their $10,000) at what point will I become liquidated? How can I prevent this? Where would I have to set my stop loss to prevent this? I can't seem to find any information on this. Thanks!
