They kept hollering for me to add more margin, using the specter of a potential margin call as the bogeyman. Picture this: I'm getting my trading groove on, totally dialed into the game. Outta nowhere, I get a margin call. Okay, freaky, but maybe it's a fluke. So, I pony up more cash for the margin. But then, it happens again, and again. They've got me over a barrel and I'm watching my account teeter on the brink of a wipe out. Felt like having the rug pulled out from under me every. single. time.
