One thing to add, for good or bad this reduction in leverage is basically a margin call.
I don’t wish to be heartless to you and others in this position but as all the pros say you should never meet a margin call and should close your positions! Meeting margin calls is how you get in to bigger and bigger loses and blow up your account.
If you currently have loses, there’s absolutely no reason they’ll go up or into profit and you’ll just have more money on the line.
I can’t understand why everyone’s saying it will loose them money if they’re in the red amd margin goes up. You’ve already lost money, your trade is at a loss. You’re just “hoping” it goes back up again. Hope is not a trading strategy.
