  When it comes to margin calls for cryptocurrency trades, Scottrade follows a specific process. If the value of your cryptocurrency investment falls below a certain threshold, Scottrade will issue a margin call to notify you. You'll then have a specified period of time to either deposit additional funds or sell some of your cryptocurrency to meet the margin requirements. Failure to meet the margin call may result in the liquidation of your position to cover the margin deficit. It's important to closely monitor your investments and be prepared to take action if a margin call is issued.
