Thread: Big gaps and margin calls

  1. #1
    Hi. I don”t know if this question was asked earlier, but if there is a big gap in the open of a trading day which goes way off your account limitation, does that mean you get into margin call for the difference? How about in the event that you have a stop loss? thanks.

    Ya, you will get a MC, then the broker will charge you for liquidating the positions for your benefit. In case you've got a SL the transaction will close when the price is reached from the overnight session.
    However, of course based on what your are trading, the more spread and margin will be way high

    Yes, you would find a MC and as others mentioned, learn more from the broker regarding margin calls, stop out, etc..

    Yes.
    Does not matter.
    Check the small print, look for something such as reductions may exceed your deposit.
