If I was to get a margin call I would stop trading. I would just take it as a sign of lack of skills on my part and just leave the game.
Quitting is never a solution Paul! One should just see it as a signal to make your trading plan, and particularly your risk management plan more fool proof.
I know how demoralizing it can be! When I experienced it I took a sabbatical from trading for a year and started fresh with a new strategy and with new brokers. Thank goodness I am safe with fxview and IG as of now
These margin calls can really suck I know, but don’t worry. Losses and profit are part of a traders life.
Margin call is a worrisome position but I think there has been some negligence on your part. Don’t mind but I think you did some leverage trades which resulted in this situation. Not a good place to be mate!
I think more important is to reconsider your strategy from this point. The brokers which you are using also matters. Use brokers that are flexible and allow hedging. IG, fxview and CMC Markets are three that I have used and I know are good with different strategies.
One call does not mean it is the end of your trading days. Don’t worry everything will be alright I must say just have the will power.
