When do I need to cover the margin call?

Written by Editor

Due to the T+1 settlement rule, you normally have 1 business day to cover the call once the call is issued.

For example, you have until Tuesday afternoon to cover your margin call which was generated on Monday morning. However, due to market volatility, the deadline to cover your margin call could be sooner than 1 business day.

Please note that brokerage firms are not obligated to inform you before force liquidation for a margin call.
