On a Clean Up

Describing a trade where one buys or seeks to buy all of the remaining securities in a block or, more generally, any securities that remain following an earlier trade. That is, one is on a clean up if one seeks to buy the leftovers from a previous trade that the seller was unable to sell to other investors.
