Does a Margin Call Only Happen in Crypto Trading?
No, a margin call is a standard risk management procedure used across all leveraged financial markets, including traditional stock, forex, and futures trading. The concept is the same: when a leveraged position loses value and the account's equity falls below the maintenance margin, the broker or clearinghouse demands additional collateral.
While the volatility of crypto can make margin calls more frequent, the mechanism itself is universal in derivatives and margin-based trading.
