Margin call in forex

[marym]

A margin call in forex is a situation where a trader's account balance falls below the required margin level to maintain their open positions. In forex trading, margin is the amount of money that a trader must deposit with their broker in order to open and maintain a position in the market. The margin is usually a percentage of the total position size and acts as collateral for any losses that may occur during the trade.
If the market moves against a trader's position, the losses can eat into their account balance and reduce their available margin. If the account balance falls below the required margin level, the broker may issue a margin call, which requires the trader to deposit additional funds to meet the margin requirement. If the trader fails to do so, the broker may close out their open positions to limit further losses.
Margin calls are an important risk management tool for both traders and brokers. They help to ensure that traders have sufficient funds to cover any potential losses and protect brokers from excessive risk exposure. Traders should always monitor their margin levels and have a clear understanding of their broker's margin policies to avoid margin calls and potential account liquidation.

Margin call sometimes happens to any traders when the market move againsst their position and equity not enough again to withstand of price movement. When margin level reached margin call threshold, hence the broker automatically closed order one by one until margin level above margin call level threshold.

When I manage account in FXOpen broker, how to avoid margin call is making plan trading based on the risk management. Stop loss still become my main weapon to prevent from bigger loss and always tries to limit the risk only 2% in every plan trading. All trader I think ever faced margin call, however we can take lesson from its experience.

Margin Call is a situation where traders get a warning to immediately add funds to their trading account in order to close losing positions and free up margin. Each broker will set a different margin call which you can read in the trading account specifications. If the trader does not add funds to his trading account, the broker will forcibly close the trading position in a stop out condition.

Safe margin level if equity is greater than margin call limit. Meanwhile, to prevent margin calls, traders need to inject before being hit by a margin call or by closing trading positions to prevent bigger losses.
