Meaning of "Margin call"
This refers to a notice issued by a securities firm requiring the customer to provide additional collateral if the margin ratio for margin or on-margin trading falls below the required level due to factors such as a decline in stock prices (or the risk of forced liquidation resulting from such a situation).
"When the stock I had been holding onto until yesterday plummeted and a margin call appeared, I hurriedly deposited cash, fearing my account would be forced to liquidate."
