DislikedNot on topic , but the import of this subject transcends any single topic line. Forex37, I read your comment on this elsewhere and I wanted to clarify if a trader can lose more than his account .....Ignored
Piposterous,
this thread wasn't paying attention to money-management, despite it often was mentioned as absolute necessary tool.
What you are telling may get reality in volatile markets of course, but only, if you are overtrading with size and/or without money-management.
Rule #1 for each trader should be 'Protect your Capital' and this -in my understanding- let it be impossible to get a margin call, because size of trade doesn't allow this. And with intention I didn't mention SL, because using them may result in larger loss than planned.
