Moneta Markets applies a 50% margin call level and a 20% stop-out level across its trading platforms. These risk management mechanisms are designed to help protect your trading account and reduce the likelihood of your account balance falling into negative territory.

Margin Call and Stop-Out Levels

Margin Call (50%)

A margin call is triggered when your margin level falls to 50% or below.

A margin call serves as a warning that your available margin is becoming limited and that your open positions may be at risk if your margin level continues to decline.
 

Stop-Out (20%)

A stop-out is triggered when your margin level falls to 20% or below.

When the stop-out level is reached, the system will automatically begin closing open positions, starting with the positions that require the highest margin, until your margin level rises above 20%.

Important Conditions

• The margin call level is fixed at 50%.
• The stop-out level is fixed at 20%.
• Position closures during a stop-out are performed automatically by the system.
• The stop-out mechanism is designed to help manage trading risk and reduce the likelihood of negative account balances.

• Stop-outs can occur during periods of high market volatility or significant losses on open positions.

   

What Should I Do?

To reduce the risk of a stop-out:

1. Monitor your margin level regularly within your trading platform.
2. Maintain sufficient available funds in your trading account.
3. Consider reducing exposure by closing positions if your margin level is approaching the margin call threshold.
4. Deposit additional funds if necessary to increase available margin.
