What are Margin Call and Stop Out levels

This article explains margin call and stop-out levels, how they work, and the specific thresholds set at JustMarkets to help you trade responsibly and with confidence.


What Is a Margin Call?

A margin call is a critical alert indicating that the funds in your trading account are approaching a minimum level. If the market moves against your position, you might reach a stop-out level where some or all of your positions are closed automatically. This warning is issued when the equity in your account drops to a specific percentage of the margin required to maintain your open positions.

For JustMarkets accounts, a margin call is triggered when your margin level falls to 40%.

Note: Clients do not receive the notification in the trading terminal when trading with a Deposit Bonus.


What Is Stop-Out?

Stop out is an automatic safety mechanism that closes one or all of your open positions when your account equity falls below a certain percentage of the required margin. This process prevents your account from falling into a negative balance.

At JustMarkets, the stop-out is set at the following levels:
