If my broker liquidates, because of a margin violation, a future
contract that is not very frequently traded (sometimes it does not
have bids), how much I would expect to lose beyond the equity ? Can I
try to negotiate with the broker so it would wait for a reasonable
bid ?

I can, and of course would prefer, to come up with funds to cover the
margin, but I am not sure if I'll have time to do that because all
banks are closed on Monday.
