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