Can I receive a margin call before Interactive Brokers liquidates my positions?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nYes, Interactive Brokers will typically issue a margin call before liquidating positions to give clients an opportunity to deposit additional funds to bring their account back into compliance with margin requirements.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_How_much_time_do_I_have_to_meet_a_margin_call_at_Interactive_Brokers\"><\/span>4.
