Liquidation Order
A liquidation order is the specific instruction or event that triggers the forced closing of a position by a broker. It is executed to settle a debt when the account's collateral is insufficient.
The order is typically processed at the current market price, often with little regard for the investor's profit or loss goals, to protect the broker's interest.
