Margin Call broker is a warning system from the broker if the equity you have is not sufficient for the margin needed to hold the position .

 the Stop Out is a forced closing of a trading position, because equity funds have been reduced and do not meet the margin needed to hold a position. So, the forced closure that you experience is not called the Margin Call broker

apparently different understanding of Margin call with stop out, means that the MC does not necessarily lose funds!

thank you, sir.

MARGIN CALL and this stop out level is important as a second stop loss if the trader does not use SL in his trading.

The MC and STOP OUT are located the same or can MC first and STOP OUT depends on the broker's policy.

should before there is a margin call warning, traders have to do a cut loss especially if they experience a stop out because the best strategy is to cut losses as early as possible.

if you want safe capital then just trading dibroker that applies a large stop out for example 50 percent SO then your capital is still a lot even though exposed to the MC ;D

if we can understand and utilize the stop out of the broker, the account will actually be far from the MC.

many traders mistakenly think that if the account has been hit by a margin call it is the end of an account, depending on how big the stop level is.

stop out of each broker is different, therefore the stop out level is also sometimes one of the considerations of traders in choosing a broker.

The closing of this position is called Stop Out. Most Indonesian traders place the wrong understanding of Stop Out and Margin Call. Though in truth, MC is a savior feature for traders who are almost out of capital.

choose a broker that provides leverage that fits your strategy and style but don't forget the stop level set by the broker, at least look for those who apply 50 percent SO...

margin call is like the devil most feared by traders because by being hit by MC then our capital will run out, that is the wrong assumption because the MC is only a warning before being hit out, stop out not necessarily our money will run out depending on the stop out level determined by the broker.

traders in general have mispercepted the margin call so they are not keen to understand the MC and stop out how it relates to capital security.
