Description

A dealer’s specialised term used to describe a situation where a position has been neutralised or reversed.

In trading, “flat” or “square” refers to a situation where a dealer has neutralised or reversed a position, effectively having no net exposure. This term signifies that a trader has balanced their book, eliminating potential risk from prior trades. It’s a goal in risk management to reach a flat or square position to mitigate further market movements’ impact.
