What is a margin call & Stop Out , Liquidation of Accounts?

1 min. readlast update: 12.29.2023

 A margin call is an alert on your trading account when its balance and equity can no longer cover your trades, or not enough to cover your existing trades and upcoming ones. It is a call to the investor to fund his/ her trading account, before it is liquidated and closed. 

  1. The Margin Call for all margin trading accounts types, when your account margin level reaches 100%, the system will color your margin level in red as an alert in your "Trade" tab.
  2. The Stop Out level for all account types is triggered when the margin level reaches a specified percentage, ranging between 60% to 40%, depending on your account type. At this point, your account will be liquidated, and the system will start closing positions starting with those incurring the highest losses.
