Margin Call

4 min read

A margin call is a warning that your equity is close to the minimum needed to keep positions open.

What triggers it

Each broker sets a margin call level, for example 100% margin level. When your equity falls to that point, you may be asked to deposit funds or reduce positions. Some brokers simply notify you on the platform.

Key takeaways

A margin call is a warning, not a closure.
Levels differ between brokers and accounts.
Good position sizing avoids margin calls.
