What happens if the losses incurred are higher than the total margin blocked?

Trading with leverage involves risk, and at FYERS, we follow a strict risk management process to protect both the investor and the system. If your trading position incurs losses that exceed the margin initially blocked, specific actions are automatically triggered.

How FYERS handles excess losses

  • If the losses on a position approach or exceed the blocked margin, our Risk Management System (RMS) will automatically square off the open position.
  • Any loss beyond the blocked margin will be debited from your remaining available balance in the account.

This mechanism is designed to limit potential liabilities and prevent further losses that could occur if the position remains open.
