Margin Trading
3 Things You Need to Know
Forced Liquidation Margin Level
A required margin call occurs when your Net Account Value (NAV) drops below the Maintenance Margin (MM) requirement. The margin call will include a Margin Call Amount, which is the minimum amount required for meeting your margin call if there is any.
If the call is not met before the stipulated dateline, Webull will liquidate enough holdings to satisfy the call.
Buy Stocks With Margin
When you activate a margin account, you can use the additional buying power to trade stocks. Each stock has a specified initial margin ratio, which refers to the percentage you must pay to buy 100% of the stock.
Maintenance Margin (MM) refers to the minimum amount of the Net Account Value (NAV) you must maintain in your account. The amount is based on the market value of securities in your positions. If your NAV is lower than what is required by the MM, you may receive a margin call.
Always Monitor the Risk Level of Your Account
If you buy stocks with margin and the stock price falls, you may also receive a margin call apart from the increasing loss. You may be forced to close the positions if you fail to sell any positions or fund your account before the margin call deadline.
Therefore, you must monitor the risk level of your account to avoid forced liquidation due to insufficient margin.
Enter the [Assets] interface and click [Risk Level] to check whether your account is at risk. If you are in a “caution” or “at risk” state, remember to deposit or actively close your positions in time.
