Use when a bot trades a Reg T, portfolio or futures margin account and must act before the broker liquidates: tiered maintenance-margin warnings cross-checked against broker excess liquidity, initial-margin order gating and liquidity-aware de-leveraging.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## When to Use Invoke this whenever an algorithmic trading bot operates on a margin account (Reg T, Portfolio Margin, or futures margin). When adverse market moves push maintenance margin requirements toward or past account equity, brokers liquidate positions at market prices, and they choose which ones.

If your feed is stale, the grade is stale. Poll `excess_liquidity` and `available_funds` from the broker; do not derive them from NLV. - **As a guaranteed way to beat the broker to liquidation.** IBKR does not make margin calls — it liquidates in real time, without prior notice, and may do so without the …

How to install
mdr add himanshuj16/algo-trading-skills/broker-account-margin-call-handling@sha256:fdee273c25f26222The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
