What is the Margin Call Level and how is it calculated?
The Margin Call Level is a threshold set to alert traders that their account equity has fallen to a critical level at 50%, exposing them to a margin call.
The formula to calculate Margin Level is:
Margin Level= (Equity/Used Margin)*100%
*Note:
- A margin call is a demand to deposit more funds or close your opening positions to ensure that the account equity does not fall below the required margin to prevent your account from stop-out.
- Equity is the total funds of the trading account, including floating profit, floating loss and credit.
- Used Margin represents the amount of funds that are currently tied up as collateral for maintaining open positions.
