Margin question


junglebunny

Question

I already posted a 20% margin on a stock I bought. Why do you ask me to add more to my "available" cash balance when my position starts losing. I thought that is what the margin is for? Seems like you need to have money in the "available" balance as well as the margin.

yes, there is initial margin and operational margin, of course you don't have to add, you could just allow the losing position to be closed out. Obviously if it was a winning position you wouldn't need any additional 'available' cash balance.

    • #EURUSD: Peculiar PatternI spotted a cup & handle pattern on ⚠️EURUSD on 1H time frame.1.0777 - 1.0783 is its neckline.If the price breaks and closes above that, I will expect a bullish movement.Goals will be 1.0843 / 1.0894If the price sets a new low, the pattern will become invalid.
    • Joshua, where next with this trade, have you closed your position following the continued slide since 13th March?
