They executed between $2,330.30 and $2,380.30 and recorded approximately $269,225 in realized trading losses, excluding about $1,087 in fill fees.<\/p>\n<p>The liquidation followed substantial voluntary selling.

Positions become eligible for liquidation when equity falls below maintenance margin. If order-book sales restore the required margin, remaining collateral stays with the trader.
