Years ago when I was trading commodities I took a trade that should have been perfect. It was in cocoa and I went short at market open. About 4 hours later I got a call from my broker that I had a margin call. My call then, and is what I had always been told, was to liquidate my position. Never throw good money after bad. Turns out that after I went short a civil war broke out and the rebels took the capitol and all cocoa shipments were stopped. Ships left harbor empty and of course the market panicked and price went through the roof. So, I say never answer a margin call, liquidate, take your lumps and move on to the next trade. That was in the futures market but I would do the same in forex.
