If your equity goes to zero do your positions stay open?

Question

Guest michelle67

Hi, I was wondering what happens if my equity was to go to zero say if a position started to depreciate in value. Would the position(s) be automatically closed or would it (they) stay open?

Also, is there any way to disable a guaranteed stop on a order to open?

Thanks

I have asked for my account to be closed but but they will not do it, its been over a week now and my equity is almost at zero. How can I make them close my account.

Hi , thanks for the post - good question.

 

In general, you need to always make sure your available funds (equity less margin) remains a positive balance, and should monitor your account carefully to ensure this. 

 

Once your equity level falls below 50% of your margin requirement, your positions will begin to be automatically closed out, both on our stop monitor and later at dealer discretion if necessary.  This is to prevent further, heavy losses from being incurred, and may mean that your overall account balance is pushed to a debit.  It's important to be aware that your positions aren't just closed out at zero equity, they could be negative.

 

If you'd like more detailed information about our margin policy and close-out monitor, or any specific examples, please don't hesitate to ask us.

 

Thanks!

Hannah

    • 🔸Hello traders, let's review the 4 hour chart for AUDUSD today. Recently price was locked inside distribution trading range and subsequently it broke down below key s/r level near 6600 and hit 6500. Following the normal distribution pattern. 🔸Short-term expecting throwback to re-test mid of the distribution range and then expecting new wave of short-selling once we trigger 6700. Bears still maintain strategic control. 🔸Recommended strategy for AUDUSD bears: wait for the short-term bounce to complete near 6700 and then re-enter on SELL SIDE. TP1 bears +200 pips TP2 bears final +400 pips at 6350. Keep in mind this is a swing trade setup so will take more time to complete. good luck! 🎁Please hit the like button and 🎁Leave a comment!
