This refers to a long liquidation of a position in $BCH Bitcoin Cash at a price of $406.12. The total liquidation value is $1.9437K, meaning the trader lost $1,943.70 due to this liquidation.
What it means:
A long liquidation happens when the price of the asset drops to a point where the trader's margin or collateral is no longer enough to maintain the leveraged position.
In this case, the position was liquidated at $406.12, meaning the price of BCH fell to that level, causing the position to be automatically closed by the exchange to prevent further losses.
The trader incurred a loss of $1,943.70 as a result of this forced closure.
Why liquidations happen:
Leverage allows traders to borrow funds to increase their position size. If the market moves against them in this case, price falls and they don't have enough collateral to cover the loss, the position will be liquidated to protect both the trader and the exchange from further losses.
