"red bar of death"

Hi there,

New to FX. Demo’ing in MT4, quick question, in the Terminal window, after having placed a trade, what does it mean when the status bar turns red? I know it has something to do with margin levels but I cant seem to figure it out… yes, I have googl’d but I dont seem to be asking the right questions as I have found it difficult to find a straight answer… Please help!

Thank you!

Huh. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered that scenario but yeah it may have something to do with margin. Did you check your position sizing? Or how about sharing a screenshot of your terminal so the friendly forum folks in here can weigh and help you out?
