call ","glossary_post_image":"","key_takeaway":"Key Takeaway","key_takeaway_description":"A margin call is a notification that an account no longer has enough available margin to maintain its open positions. 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\/he\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/6407","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/he\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/he\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/he\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/propaccount.com\/he\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary-category?post=6407"}],"curies":[{"name":"\u05d5\u05d5\u05e8\u05d3\u05e4\u05e8\u05e1","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
