What is Margin Call?

A margin call occurs when account equity falls below the broker's required margin level, demanding additional funds or forcing position closures. It typically follows a series of losses or excessive leverage.

Margin calls are preventable through conservative position sizing and leverage limits. Signal followers who risk too much per trade or run too many concurrent positions face margin calls even when following profitable providers long-term. Treat signal subscriptions as ideas to size responsibly, not as permission to increase risk.
