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 extremely volatile market conditions. If you have open positions, your equity may drop quickly, potentially triggering a margin call. Even if the market bounces back shortly after, your account might still experience a margin call event.
It's crucial to consistently monitor your trading account's margin level while holding open positions and take proactive steps to protect your account from entering a margin stop-out.
