Check your current margin level and see how close you are to a margin call. Stress test your account with different equity scenarios.
Margin Level = (Equity ÷ Used Margin) × 100%
Example: $10,000 equity, $3,617 margin used: (10,000 ÷ 3,617) × 100 = 276.5%
Margin level = (Equity / Used margin) × 100%. A margin level of 200% means your equity is double your used margin. Below 100% typically triggers a margin call.
Keep margin level above 200-300% for safety. Below 150% is risky. Most brokers issue margin calls at 100% and force-close positions at 20-50%.
Margin level is a percentage (equity / used margin × 100%), while free margin is the dollar amount available to open new positions. Both decrease as open trades move against you.
