Liquidated notional is not the same as loss

Check whether a figure represents position value or executed liquidation orders.

Separate long and short liquidations

Falling prices can liquidate longs and rising prices shorts, often with timing differences.

Verify aggregate coverage

Venue set, period, currency conversion and deduplication all matter.

Frequently asked questions

Does a large liquidation guarantee a rebound?

No. Liquidation is an outcome, and volatility can continue.
