Are you using margin call as a stop loss strategy? Well, then you should look around for other brokers.
O-and-a allows more flexibility in holding positions. With 2% initial margin and 1% maintenance margin, you can't experience a situation when you open a huge position (relative to your account), then it moves a couple of pips against you and you get margin called right away (as is possible when both margins are equal). Oh well, you may believe in what you want to believe. No big deal to me.

No, I don't use margin calls as a strategy, I thought that I stated clearly that one would have to be insane to do so. However, I have read of people doing so, but that's their business, not ours.
I do use Oander and I wondered about why they have the margin set-up the way they do. If you can explain why they do it that way, then go right ahead. If you think it's for the benefit of the traders, then you're equally as welcome to believe in what you want to believe. I don't have any problems with them, I'm very happy with them. But come up with a better explanation of why they do it this way, besides helping us, and I'll seriously entertain the idea.
