Why did I get a margin call when my trading account appears to be above the margin call threshold?
A margin call can occur even when your account seems above the threshold, especially during high market volatility. If you have open positions, your equity may drop rapidly, potentially triggering a margin call. Even if the market recovers shortly after, your account could still experience a margin call event due to temporary fluctuations.
To manage your risk effectively, It's crucial to monitor your margin level regularly and take proactive steps, such as adjusting position sizes or adding funds, to prevent your account from reaching a stop-out.
