Margin Call

What it means

A margin call means account equity is too low relative to used margin. It is a risk warning, not a loss stop.

Difference from stop out

Margin call is a warning. Stop out is automatic liquidation by the platform. Thresholds differ by broker and should be in the agreement.

User action

Do not add funds blindly. Recalculate size, stop distance, maximum loss and whether the trade still fits the plan.
