  1. I am demo trading on IG and getting familiar with the platform, however I see a mixed message about when positions get closed automatically if a margin call is triggered. On the platform next to Balances there is the percentage of the Equity Used by Margin. It is saying that my positions could be automatically closed if this reaches 100%. From the screenshot that I have uploaded the Equity Used Percentage of 89.38 % is calculated by ={Margin (£1775.65) / Equity (£1986.58)} * 100 So if the Equity Used reaches 100% my positions or at least one will be closed. However, if I am looking into the IG Help section I find this page https://www.ig.com/uk/help-and-support/spread-betting-and-cfds/margin/what-is-margin-call that says I found an example about it in the forum The two scenarios are very different. Yesterday, I actually reached 100% of Equity Used but my positions did not get closed, although I am demo trading, then I am wondering what would happen in a real trading scenario. (and actually I would like to understand it before start trading it with IG). So which one is the margin call policy of IG? Many Thanks!
