For you non-professional traders out there, it's fun to watch the individual trades whip by at:

They're delayed, but it's certainly interesting to watch. Also it keeps my ISP from hanging up on me after an idle time, because it constantly sends a stream of info during market hours.

Usually you get a grace period of about 3-4 days to cover your margin. At the close of the market today everyones equity is calculated. Anyones below 30-35% get margin calls. Either your broker will call you or you get something in the mail.
