@Yadong could you send your account id and email to support@alpaca.markets, we will take a look into your account. The message liquidating positions is saying if the account is less than $25,000 in equity or  
an account has over $25,000 in equity then, while one can execute unlimited day trades, one is restricted from exceeding the current Day Trading Buying Power (DTBP).

You can also refer to our doc [user protections](https://alpaca.markets/docs/trading-on-alpaca/user-protections/) that will help you gain more knowledge about your issue.
