What do you mean by Margin Call Price ?

Margin Call Price is established when the value of the margin account goes below the account’s maintenance requirements or the broker’s required amount. In order to satisfy the margin call, the investor has to sell his securities or deposit additional funds or deposit unmargined securities. The specific margin call price depends on the broker's policies and the initial margin requirements set for the securities in the account. Different brokers may have different margin requirements, and they typically express them as a percentage of the total value of the securities held in the margin account. It's important for investors to be aware of the margin requirements and to monitor their margin accounts closely to avoid margin calls, as failing to meet a margin call may result in the broker liquidating assets to cover the shortfall. It is noted that margin trading involves a higher level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
