  • A Margin Call is a warning issued when your account equity drops close to the required margin level. It alerts you to add funds or close positions to avoid Stop Out.

  • A Stop Out is the automatic closure of positions once your margin level falls below a set threshold (e.g., 50%)

Margin Call = Alert
Stop Out = Action

Staying above the margin call level helps prevent forced liquidations.
