I'm testing out a new strategy and I want to make sure that I set my margin usage correctly to prevent the potential for a margin call. If you could check my math I would appreciate it.
Would the margin call happen between a 500% and 600% drawdown when the equity% reaches less than 30%? Assuming a 200% margin requirement for this security.
