A margin call will be made intraday whenever the margin ratio of your account exceeds 100%.
Margin ratio is calculated in the following manner:
Margin Ratio = IM/Projected Balance x 100%
When Margin Ratio > 100%, you will have 2 business days to satisfy the margin call.
When Margin Ratio > 125%, you will have 1 business day to satisfy the margin call.
When Margin Ratio > 140%, force-selling of your open positions to bring the margin ratio below 100% again.
You will not be able to initiate a new position until you have satisfied your margin call requirements. Your trading representative will begin force-selling of your existing open positions if you fail to satisfy your margin calls within the stipulated timelines.
All margin calls will be sent via emails. However, clients are advised to monitor their account regularly to avoid the force liquidation of positions.
