Margin Call level: Warning at 99% for all accounts
Stop-Out level: A stop-out will be triggered when the Margin Level falls below 5%-50% depending on account type.
Margin Call levels may be changed with prior notification if there is a necessity to do so.
Margin Call level is displayed as a percentage and calculated as follows: MC = Equity / Margin * 100%
Margin Call level is equal to equity: MC = Equity
If the current level is below Margin Call level, the account will receive an alert. If the level reaches a point lower than Stop Out level, the most unprofitable position will be closed on account quoted automatically. As for those positions quoted by a dealer, a request will be sent to the latter one to close the most unprofitable position (but dealer can close any other client’s position at the dealer’s discretion).
On XGLOBAL FX servers dynamic leverage is implemented, which allows the firm to offer the highest possible leverage to all clients while controlling leverage offered in cases of large exposures. This is configured in a safe way for clients, so that the margin requirement will never be increased for open positions.
