What is a Margin Call on Cryptobots.io? Understanding & Managing

At Cryptobots.io, we prioritize a smooth and successful trading experience for our users. To support this, we have implemented a robust margin call system designed to help you effectively manage your account's equity and prevent potential liquidation.

What is a Margin Call?

A margin call is a critical notification indicating that your account's equity has fallen below the required maintenance margin. This signifies a decrease in the value of your account, placing your open trading positions at risk of being closed if the market continues to move unfavorably.

How Cryptobots.io Notifies You of a Margin Call

For users engaged in Bitcoin Linear derivatives markets or Ethereum Linear derivatives markets, our system actively monitors your positions. If we detect that the price is approaching your liquidation threshold, we will send you timely email notifications and dashboard alerts. This proactive approach provides you with sufficient time to consider your options.

It is crucial to understand that a margin call is not a punitive measure or an attempt to compel you to add more funds to your account. Instead, it serves as an important warning and a valuable opportunity for you to take informed action and manage your account's equity. Your decision on how to proceed always remains yours.

Responding to a Margin Call on Cryptobots.io

Upon receiving a margin call, it is essential to act quickly and make a well-considered decision regarding the management of your position. This involves carefully reviewing your options and choosing a course of action that aligns with your established trading strategy and risk management plan.

You might consider adding margin to your position to increase your account's equity, thereby moving your liquidation threshold further away from the current market price. Alternatively, you might decide to reduce your position size or close it entirely, depending on your market outlook and risk tolerance. Remember, the ultimate decision on how to handle a margin call is always yours.
