What Happens When the Trading Account Free Margin is Negative?
A gold margin call is when a trader's trading account free margin falls below the required margin level which is set by broker. This means that because free margin in trader's account has gone below required margin level then trader receives a margin call & some of the open trade positions in trader's are closed by broker til this margin level goes back up to above required margin level.
Some of the open trades might and may be closed or all of the open trades might and may be closed if this margin call is executed automatically by broker.

When trading if you as a trader have $1,000 dollars and use leverage ratio of 100:1 and buy 1 standard lot/contract for $100,000 then your margin on this trade position is the $1000 in your account, this is money which you will lose out if your open trade position moves against you - the other $99,000 dollars that's borrowed, the broker will closeout the open trade positions transactions mechanically/automatically by using a Margin Call once your $1,000 dollars has been taken out by market.
But this is if your broker has set 0 % Trading Margin Requirements before stopping out your trade transactions automatically/mechanically by using this Margin Call.
