Margin call (See Chapter 48 of the Vernimmen) A clearing house in the derivatives market makes a margin call, i.e. a demand for additional payment, when an operator looks like it may make a loss. The operator’s account is thus always in the black by at least the amount of initial deposit. If the operator does not meet a margin call, the clearing house closes out the operator’s position and uses the deposit to cover the loss.
