What is Square off?

Hinglish mein padhein: Square off kya hota hai?

To square off is to close an open position by taking the opposite trade — selling what you bought or buying back what you sold short.

Brokers automatically square off intraday positions shortly before 3:30 pm, often with an extra charge.

Squaring off locks in the profit or loss on the trade.
