“强行平仓”(强平)的英文怎么说?

“强行平仓”,或简称为”强平”,是保证金交易(或称杠杆交易)中的一个常见术语。其意思是指:当交易者账户的亏损达到预先设定的值/比例时,经纪商(broker)对其账户当前所有仓位进行强制性地卖出(了结),以防止损失进一步扩大的行为。

在英文里,强行平仓的常见对应说法是:margin closeout。这里的margin,意思是保证金,而closeout,指的是平仓,或了结(全部)头寸。Margin closeout常见于外汇交易(Forex trading),或带杠杆(leverage)的股票交易。除了margin closeout,类似的说法还有:forced close-out,forced selling,或forced liquidation。

参考例句:I just suffered a margin closeout and lost over $2000.(我刚被强平了,损失了2000多美元)。
