Es geschieht, wenn sich der Markt gegen offene Trades bewegt und die Verluste das Kontokapital unter die erforderliche Mindestmargin reduzieren, um diese Positionen offen zu halten. Wenn die Margin nicht wiederhergestellt wird, schlie\u00dft die Plattform typischerweise einige oder alle offenen Trades automatisch, um das Konto wieder in einen akzeptablen Margin-Bereich zu bringen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Im Retail-Handel bedeutet ein Margin Call oft, dass der Trader mehr Geld einzahlen muss, um Positionen aufrechtzuerhalten. Im Kontext einer Prop-Firma ist diese Option nicht verf\u00fcgbar. Der Kontostand ist das, was die Firma zugewiesen hat, und Trader k\u00f6nnen kein Kapital hinzuf\u00fcgen. Wenn die Margin auf einem finanzierten Konto niedrig wird, \u00fcbernimmt das Stop-Out-Level der Plattform und schlie\u00dft Positionen, um den verbleibenden Saldo zu sch\u00fctzen. Das Stop-Out-Level wird typischerweise bei einem bestimmten Prozentsatz der Margin-Nutzung festgelegt, oft um 50%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Der zuverl\u00e4ssigste Weg, einen Margin Call zu vermeiden, ist eine konservative Positionsgr\u00f6\u00dfe gepaart mit Stop-Losses bei jedem Trade.

In prop firm trading, adding funds is not an option, so the platform closes positions automatically at the stop-out level to protect the remaining balance. ","faq":"<b>Can I deposit more funds to avoid a margin call on a funded account?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No. Funded accounts are provided by the prop firm, and traders cannot add their own capital. When margin runs low, the platform closes positions at the stop-out level to protect the remaining balance.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>What is the stop-out level?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stop-out level is the margin percentage at which the platform starts closing positions automatically. It varies by firm and plan but often sits around 50%, meaning positions begin closing when the account's used margin exceeds half of the available equity.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Does a margin call fail the challenge?<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not directly, but the position closures triggered by a margin call can. If the losses from the closed positions push the account past the daily loss limit or maximum drawdown, that is what fails the challenge, not the margin call itself. Traders who reach a margin call have usually taken positions too large for the account they are trading.<\/span>"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/6407","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary-category?post=6407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
