Can a Trader Withdraw Funds If Their Account Is Only at the Initial Margin Level?
No, a trader cannot withdraw funds if their account equity is only at the initial margin level. The initial margin is the required collateral to keep the current leveraged position open.
Any withdrawal that would reduce the equity below the initial margin level would put the position at risk of immediate liquidation. Withdrawals are only allowed if the remaining equity is greater than the total initial margin required for all open positions.
