Can I lower my leverage after receiving a margin call?

Updated over a week ago

If you have received a margin call on your trading account, you may be wondering if there is anything you can do to lower your leverage and reduce the risk of liquidation. The answer is yes, there are steps you can take to lower your leverage and potentially avoid liquidation.

Lowering Your Leverage

If you have received a margin call, it is important to take action to lower your leverage and reduce the risk of liquidation. There are two main ways to lower your leverage:

Reducing your position size means closing some of your open positions or decreasing the size of your trades. This will decrease the amount of leverage you are using and lower your risk of liquidation. However, it is important to note that this will also decrease your potential profits.

Adding more margin to your account means depositing more funds into your trading account. This will increase the amount of margin you have available and lower your leverage. This can be a good option if you have enough funds available and do not want to close any of your open positions.
