What Are the Two Main Ways a Trader Can Satisfy a Margin Call?
A trader can satisfy a margin call in two main ways. The first is by depositing additional funds (collateral) into their margin account, which immediately increases the account equity and brings the margin level back above the required threshold.
The second is by partially or fully closing their open position(s). Closing a position reduces the overall margin requirement, thus improving the margin ratio without needing to deposit new funds.
