Yes. TradeZero may close out (liquidate) positions at its discretion and without prior notice if your account poses a risk.
Common reasons include:
- Low account equity or margin deficiencies
- Failure to meet a margin call
- High concentration in one or more positions
- Excessive risk due to volatility or market conditions
Short Position Considerations:
- Short positions may be covered without notice if shares can no longer be borrowed
- This may occur due to:
- Reg SHO Rule 204 requirements
- Broker recalls
Important:
- If you cover your position and a forced buy-in also occurs, you may end up with a long position
Additional Information:
- Liquidations may occur during regular or extended trading hours
- Positions may also be reduced to prevent large margin calls or excessive risk
- You are responsible for maintaining sufficient equity in your account at all times"
