Stop Out (Margin Call)

Hirose Financial UK has implemented a Margin Call Policy to protect its clients from losing more money than the remaining balance in their accounts. Margin calls are automatically executed to close every outstanding position when a client's account has less equity available than margin required to maintain an outstanding position.

Example:
Your initial deposit is ₤1,000.
Account status at this moment is
Balance ₤1,000 Equity ₤1,000 Usable Margin ₤1,000
↓
You buy EURGBP for 100,000 at 0.87500.
Margin required to execute this trade is ₤3 per 1,000 currency units. Account status at this moment is
Balance ₤1,000 Equity ₤1,000 Usable Margin 700 Margin ₤300
↓
When EURGBP goes down to 0.87000, account status is as follows
(0.87500-0.87000） X 100,000 = ₤500　Equity = Balance ₤1,000 - ₤500 = Equity ₤500
Balance ₤1,000 Equity ₤500 Usable Margin ₤200 Margin ₤300
↓
When EURGBP goes down to 0.86800, account status is as follows
(0.87500-0.86800） X 100,000 = ₤700　Equity = Balance ₤1,000 - ₤700 = Equity ₤300
Balance ₤1,000 Equity ₤300 Usable Margin ₤0 Margin ₤300

As above stated, the equity available in the account (₤1,000) goes below margin required to maintain a position of 10,000 units in EURGBP (₤300), a margin call is automatically executed to close the every position. In other words, when usable margin becomes 0, a margin call is automatically executed.
