How do I cover a margin call?

To cover a margin call, you will need to add cash or close positions to bring your account in good standing by the due date.

• Margin leverage enabled: End the trading day with positive excess equity. If your excess equity becomes positive during the day, continue monitoring your account to ensure it remains positive through market close. If it falls negative, you will need to cover the deficit for the margin call to be considered covered. 
• Margin leverage disabled: End the trading day with a cash balance of $0.00 or greater.

Please note that SoFi reserves the right to close positions in your account to satisfy the margin call and may do so before the due date.
