yes sometimes ago I got auto liquidated, then the stock recovered but not my account.Quote from SomeYoungGuy:
A question for you guys that trade on margin. What happens if you were long the minute before ACN went to a penny? Does a single tick at a price trigger a margin call liquidation?
Let's say you had $39000 cash in your account and you bought 1000 @ 40. Then it ticks to 0.01 and bounces right back. Is there a person that clicks a button to auth the liquidation, or does their computer just automatically dump it once you cross your margin threshold?
