Margin is the collateral required to open and maintain a leveraged position. If unrealized losses erode margin below the maintenance level, the broker issues a margin call or closes positions. When following multiple signals simultaneously, total margin usage adds up. A provider's track record does not account for your combined exposure across concurrent trades. Monitor total margin and avoid over-leveraging when subscribed to several active providers publishing signals at the same time.
