मार्जिन call and stop out are the broker's mechanisms for protecting itself when an account approaches insolvency. They will protect आप too — but only if आप understand how they trigger.
Key शर्तें
- Equity: balance + खोलें लाभ/हानि.
- Used margin: margin locked by खोलें positions.
- मुफ़्त margin: equity − used margin.
- मार्जिन स्तर (%): equity / used margin × 100.
मार्जिन call स्तर
The broker-defined margin स्तर (e.g. 100%, 80%, 50%) at which आप are warned. Some ब्रोकर्स prevent new positions at this स्तर.
Stop out स्तर
The lower threshold (e.g. 50%, 30%, 20%) at which the broker forcibly closes positions, starting with the most-losing one, until margin स्तर is restored.
Worked example
अकाउंट: $1,000. खोलें one trade requiring $200 margin. Position floats at -$700. Equity = $300. मार्जिन स्तर = 300/200 × 100 = 150%. Still above 100% margin call. If position floats further to -$900, equity = $100. मार्जिन स्तर = 100/200 × 100 = 50%. Stop out triggered (at typical 50%); broker closes the position.
How to avoid stop-outs
- उपयोग करें stop-loss orders sized so the trade can lose your planned risk before stop-out.
- Don't hold खोलें trades through उच्च-impact news on thin margin.
- Reduce position size if margin स्तर approaches the call threshold.
