Margin shortfall meaning
A margin shortfall occurs when a trader’s account balance falls below the required margin level needed to maintain an open position. This typically happens if the value of the trader's position decreases, and there is insufficient capital to cover the maintenance margin. When a margin shortfall occurs, the broker may issue a margin call, requiring the trader to deposit more funds into the account to restore the margin level. If the trader fails to add the required funds, the broker may liquidate the position to cover the shortfall, resulting in potential losses for the trader.
