What Is a Margin Call?

A margin call is a notification that your LTV has reached the margin call threshold in your final terms. It asks you to restore the position, either by adding collateral or by repaying part of the outstanding balance, within the time stated in the notice.

Responding to a Margin Call

1. 1Open the loan page to see your current LTV and the amount needed to return to a healthy level.
2. 2Add collateral to your deposit address, or make a partial repayment by bank transfer.
3. 3Once the deposit or payment is confirmed, your LTV updates and the margin call is cleared.

If the position is not restored within the stated time, or if prices continue to fall, collateral may be liquidated to reduce the loan balance.
