# User Account Auto Liq Create

POST https://live.tradovateapi.com/v1/userAccountAutoLiq/create
Content-Type: application/json

### Create a new auto-liquidation configuration for an account.

This endpoint creates a `UserAccountAutoLiq` entity, which holds an account's post-trade auto-liquidation settings, including `trailingMaxDrawdownMode`. See [Drawdown Modes](/prop/overview/prop-firm-management/risk-management/drawdown-modes) for more information.

Most integrations set auto-liquidation configuration at account creation (via the `postTradeRisk`/`defaultAutoLiq` fields) or by calling [`updateUserAutoLiq`](/prop/api/rest-api-endpoints/risks/update-user-auto-liq), rather than this raw entity operation.
