What is a Margin call?

Margin calls indicate that one or more securities in the margin account have decreased in value. Seacrest Markets has a Margin Call Level of 100%. This means that we will send you a warning notification if your Margin Level reaches 100%, indicating that 100% of your Equity is equal to or lower than your Used Margin. Should you Margin Level continue to decrease, it may reach the Stop Out Level (20%), where your trades will begin to close to release margin.
