Not sure how a margin call works for trading though.

Well to be fair here there are a few different types of leveraged investing. Usually a margin call comes when your investment is worth less than a specified percentage of the loan and you have to add money to bring this percentage back in line.

There are a number of ways that you can leverage into the market however and not have a margin call to be concerned about at all...which truthfully is the way to go.
