Why Margin Call Exists?

Just like this is a margin call option in other markets such as commodities etc, there is also the option of margin call in Forex markets.

The foreign exchange market is a single place where by buyers and sellers come and trade currencies. This is done in a manner where you give one currency and buy the other currency and vice versa. Without trading currencies, most of the transactions in the world would not take place because the buyer or seller might have a different currency compared to what they need in order or buy or sell. For instance if a dairy firm in the U.S. wishes to import cheese from France then they would have exchange U.S. Dollars in return for Euros. When this transaction of exchanging currency is done then the business transaction could also be paid in which cheese would be imported from France by paying in Euros.

Due to this reason of exchanging currency in order to make business transactions, the Forex market is the largest and the most liquid financial market in the world. Other markets such as the stock market seem very small in front of this as its average traded value is of around U.S. $2000 billion per day.
