Whats the “margin call” result I see on the data worksheet?
ProSizer has a crude way of generating margin calls. Margin calls occur in ProSizer whenever the equity is reduced below the margin required to enter the previous trade. This isn’t realistic; in real life a margin call would happen only when the equity drops below the maintenance margin required to stay in the previous trade. The mainenance margin requirement is usually less than the initial margin requirement. ProSizer’s margin calls therefore represent the most conservative possibility. If you see any, then consider it a sign that your position sizing strategy might be too dangerous.
