Why do I have an MTF margin shortfall?

An MTF margin shortfall occurs when the required margin for your funded positions exceeds the available margin in your account. This may happen due to:

•  Market Volatility
  If stock prices decline, the value of your portfolio reduces, which may result in additional margin requirements. 
• Exchange Risk Parameter Changes
  If the exchange increases the VaR (Value at Risk) or margin requirement for a particular stock, a higher margin will be required to continue holding the position.
