Margin call / stop-out

এই আইনি পৃষ্ঠাটি শুধুমাত্র ইংরেজিতে উপলব্ধ।

When losses eat through free margin, the broker first warns (the traditional "margin call") and then force-closes positions at market price (the stop-out) — typically when equity falls to a set percentage of required margin, like 50%.

A stop-out is the market's way of ending an argument you were losing. Well-sized strategies never come near it; if a strategy's normal drawdown can approach stop-out territory, the sizing is wrong, not the broker.
