Q 1: can an unrealized loss(ongoing) result in a stop out ?
(or is it only after the realisation)
*stop out = 50 % in this example
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Q2: can an unrealized loss > equity ?
&
can unrealized loss > Margin ?
&
can unrealized loss > Free Margin ?

Thx.
*PS: an objective 'yes' or 'no' would suffice

it´s not a yes all the way
Q1: No (i´m not sure if i understood the question right, i think you mean, if the market is closed?)
Q2: YES (a loss greater than the equity is very unsual but possible if the move is very quik and strong)
Q3: YES (the margin has nothing to do with your SL)
Q4:YES (free Margin under 100% means minus, Margin call depends on your broker and will be calculated from your equity)

Q1: Yes.
Actually only unrealized loss(paper Loss) can lead to stop-out. Realized loss does affect margin, so cannot lead to a stop-out.
Market closed or open is no parameter here.
