I never understood how people can have margin calls, it makes no sense to me.

For example, If I risk 2% of my account per trade, I can fill the queue with dozens of these orders, have as many fill in a period as is possible, use all of my available leverage, and I still don't get a margin call. Even if some of my stop losses have massive slippage, it still won't happen.

Sometimes, I even risk 3% on a trade, which is considered to be too much by most people. I still can't get a margin call with a few of these positions.

actually, when greed kicks in you will never notice that you are over leverage and i tend to have trend bias without looking fundies and of course i dont trade with SL before
