Withdrawals
Withdrawals are the process of moving funds out of a trading account back to the investor's personal account. This can only be done with funds that are not currently tied up as collateral for open positions.
Excessive withdrawals can reduce account equity, potentially leading to margin calls. It is essential to ensure that sufficient funds remain to support all open trades.
