Basics

Stop-Out

Stop-out is the automatic forced closure of open positions when your account’s margin level falls below a minimum threshold set by the broker. This is a protective mechanism that prevents your account balance from going negative. At GCC Brokers, the stop-out level is 20% across all account types.

Example

Your margin level drops to 20% after a series of losing trades. The broker’s system automatically closes your least profitable position first, then continues closing positions until the margin level recovers above 20%.
