A Margin Call is also referred to as an “MC3” or a “stop out”. All AvaTrade’s accounts are Margin Leveraged accounts. Traders must maintain adequate account balances to sustain their open positions.
Retail Customers
On MT4 accounts, if your Equity level drops to 50% of your Margin, a Margin Call will occur.
Professional / Non – EU Customers
On MT4 accounts, if your Equity level drops to 10% of your Margin, a Margin Call will occur.
It is the trader's responsibility to maintain a sufficient level of margin in their account. If a Retail Account's Equity falls below 50% of Used Margin, the largest losing position in your account will be closed, along with subsequent positions until the account Equity Level returns to above 50%. If a Professional Customer Account’s Equity falls below 10% of Used Margin, the same process will be followed until the account Equity Level returns to above 10%.
In AvaOptions accounts, if your Net Liquidation Value drops below 25% of Required Margin, a Margin Call will occur and all positions will be closed.
