Can a Trader Prevent Liquidation Once the Process Has Started?
Once the exchange's liquidation engine is triggered, the process is generally automatic and cannot be stopped by the trader. However, a trader can take pre-emptive action to prevent the trigger.
By adding more collateral to the margin account (a process called "topping up margin") before the mark price reaches the liquidation price, the trader lowers the liquidation price and saves the position.
