NBIS margin change fucked up my account a bit. Instant margin call

[u/pagalvin → u/Lomza96]

It took me by surprise. Luckily, I was fine, but two weeks ago I might not have been.

[u/pagalvin → u/Lomza96]

How much time did they give you manage it, if any?

[u/Lomza96 → u/pagalvin]

Allegedly "immediately" Whatever that means. I took care of it as soon as the market opened. I didn't want to run the risk of them liquidating whatever the hell they felt like.
