What should I do if I receive a margin call?

How to respond to a margin call on your Pips Markets trading account.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Receiving a margin call means that your account equity has fallen below the required margin level to maintain your open positions. To handle a margin call, you should act quickly:

  • Close open positions:
    Close some or all open trades to reduce used margin and free up equity.

  • Deposit additional funds:
    Add more funds to your trading account to cover the margin deficit and restore sufficient free margin.

It’s important to act promptly to avoid the potential automatic liquidation of your open positions if your equity continues to fall.
