Terms & Concepts
  • Liquidation: The forced closure of a leveraged trading position when losses exceed a trader’s available or required margin.
  • Long position: A trade that profits if an asset’s price rises; long liquidations increase when the market moves down and bullish leveraged positions are forcibly closed.
  • Margin: Collateral posted by a trader to maintain a leveraged position in derivatives trading.
