The position

The rest is the broker's loan.
25% is the usual minimum; many brokers ask 30% or more.

Where it is called

Margin call below 66.67: a fall of 33.3% from 100.

The loan
$5,000.00 of a $10,000.00 position; your money is 50% of it, a leverage of 2.00.
At 60
Your equity is $1,000.00, 16.7% of the position: the broker asks for about $500.00 more, or sells shares for you.

Interest on the loan and your broker's own, often higher, maintenance rules are left out.

Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it.

The loan stays the same while the shares fall

100 shares at 100 with 5,000 of your own money and 5,000 borrowed: a fall to 66.67 leaves 6,667 of shares against the same 5,000 loan, so your part is 25% and the margin call comes. Below that the broker wants more cash or sells for you, and a fall to 50 wipes out everything you put in. The less of your own money in the trade, the closer that line sits.
