Can a Portfolio Margin Account Be Liquidated in a Similar Way to a Standard Account?
Yes, a portfolio margin account can be liquidated, but the process may be more complex. If the account equity falls below the portfolio margin requirement, a margin call is issued.
Failure to meet it results in forced liquidation, but the liquidation engine must analyze the entire portfolio's risk profile to close positions in a way that minimizes the remaining risk, rather than simply closing positions one by one.
