请看金融百科中对于margin call 的释义:
A broker's demand on an investor using margin to deposit additional money or securities so that the margin account is brought up to the minimum maintenance margin. Margin calls occur when a you account value depresses to a value calculated by the broker's particular formula. This is sometimes called a "fed call" or "maintenance call".
You would receive a margin call from a broker if one or more of the securities you had bought (with borrowed money) decreased in value past a certain point. You would be forced either to deposit more money in the account or to sell off some of your assets.
根据英文释义,margin call 就相当于中文的 追加保证金通知。
《英汉证券投资词典》对于该词的解释为:
追加保证金通知
亦为:补仓通知。
英语为:margin call;fed call;house call;house maintenance requirement;maintenance call。①证券公司向投资者发出的追加保证金或出售部分股票的通知。要求投资者在账户中增加资金或证券,以达到保证金账户的最低要求。保证金不足通常是由于市场变化,投资者的股票市值下跌。如果投资者不能满足追加保证金的要求,证券公司可强行平仓,补足保证金。保证金最低要求是美国联邦储备局制定的,所以也称为联储通知。
②期货交易过程中经纪商要求投资者追加保证金的通知。
