Question about bitfinex: Why are losses so high when margin trading in bitcoin pairs???

My God, it has no justification... it seems minimum loss is .01 BTC when margin trading in BTC, it doesn't matter if you were staking .0001 BTC and the market moved against you by 1% (!).

I lost more than half my bitcoin thanks to this feature!!! Why is that??? What's the justification for it??? Can someone help me?! I opened a ticket to at least get an explanation, but they haven't answered yet. If you trade in USD pairs, losses are proportional and reasonable. I didn't find out about this until it was too late. :S
