You’re a CFD trader and you’ve received your first CFD Margin Call. A margin call is sent to you by your CFD provider if one of your open CFD positions move against your current position and the move has consequently led to your account equity to fall below your margin requirements. Margin calls can be made at any time (usually when the market is open – or when dealing with forex – it can happen anytime 24/7)
You have three choices when you receive a margin call: you can close your CFD position, you can reduce your CFD position to reduce the margin requirements or if you feel your position has some merit, you can deposit more funds into your CFD trading account to match your margin obligations.
If you choose not to act on a CFD margin call, and the value of your position continues to fall, your CFD provider may liquidate some or all of your CFD positions.
