Same-Day Substitution

What does it mean?
Offsetting changes in a margin account, over the trading day, that result in no overall change in the value of the account. When a same-day substitution is made, a margin call is not generated.

In Other Words...
This happens when a rise in the market value of one margin security is offset by an equal decline in another.
