## Definition

Unless otherwise defined, this refers to the provision of money or collateral to a margin account. This is intended to cover an unfavorable price movement that has already occurred or is expected (a demand for additional payment, when an investor looks like it may make a loss. The investor's account is thus always in the black by at least the amount of initial deposit. If the investor does not meet a margin call, the clearing house generally closes out the investor's position and uses the deposit to cover the loss). - See margin call.
