On Pips Markets TradeLocker accounts, the levels are:
Margin Call: 100%
Stop Out: 150%
=> Maintenance Margin / Equity must always be <150% to avoid a Stop Out.
TradeLocker’s stop-out logic is the inverse of the MT5 logic.
For better understanding, let’s compare it to the standard MT5 calculation:
TradeLocker uses the formula:
Maintenance Margin / EquityMT5 uses the formula:
Equity / Maintenance Margin
Because these formulas are inverses of each other, the stop-out levels look different but represent the same risk threshold.
That’s why:
MT5: 100% Margin Call / 66.67% Stop-out
TradeLocker: 100% Margin Call / 150% Stop-out
Both indicate the same situation in your account – they are just expressed using opposite ratios.
