margin call
A margin call is a demand by a broker or financial institution for an investor to deposit further cash or securities into their trading account, to bring the account back to the minimum required maintenance margin. It occurs when the value of the investor's margin account drops below the broker's required amount due to adverse price movements of the purchased securities. If the investor is unable to fulfill a margin call, the broker has the right to sell the securities in the account until the maintenance margin requirement is met.
