Forced Liquidation

    0.04 sec.
Forced Liquidation
An action taken by brokerage houses that offsets and closes all positions within delinquent customer accounts in order to reduce exposure.

Notes:
Forced liquidations generally occur after warnings have been issued by the broker regarding the under-margin situation of an account. Should the account holder choose not to meet the margin requirements, the broker has the right to sell off the positions.
