What are Margin Requirements?

Before we continue...👀

💰Remember, day trading is risky and most traders lose money. You should never trade with money you can’t afford to lose. Prove profitability in a simulator before trading with real money.

I am always impressed by your ability to explain complicated things in such an easy way. Ross, please do complete, deep dive video about trading on margin, including all important and necessary info every trader should know. Or there is any among your videos? Thank you.

[MindsetExcellence]

Ross, I want to use a margin account simply to overcome the PDT Rule. At this point, I don't want to use leverage because I haven't researched enough on how everything works re: margin calls, leverage ratios, interest rates charges, etc.

To ensure I fully understand... I can use a margin account and NOT incur any fees, interest, or other account-related charges if I simply use my "added cash" (balance) and not utilize leverage, correct?

Again, my aim is to simply get the benefits of having a margin account to be able to trade multiple times/day with instant settlement, rather than wait 2 days. Currently, in my cash account I overcome PDT by only using settled funds, but I really believe I can make more money (and quicker) by using the FULL instant settled balance multiple times/day, rather than a fraction of "settled funds" every other day in a cash account. There's a huge benefit to be able to get in and out of a trade at will vs counting your trades and risk staying in a position longer due to account-type limitations.

[calmdown]

I’m pretty new to all of this and the more I’m learning I see This field is the perfect example of “ scared money don’t make money”!!

[DavilsonAraujo]

Ross I am newbie here and I'd like to learn with you.
So 3 things:
- Which platform do you use to trade: Metatrader 4 or 5?
- Where am I supposed to start to learn how to day trade
- Where can I find information about the market in order to know which asset to pick up and trade?
I would be eternally thankful if you could help me.

So say I have the minimum 2k in my account. And I use just my cash 2k to buy in to a stock if it drops below 2k will it be liquidated to keep my account at 2k? Or will I have to put money in? Also say I trade on a monday so the settlement time is 2 days but in a margin it automatically in your account. So I use the money from the trade on Tuesday. Is that on margin or is it considered my money since it will be in the account on Wednesday.

[kevinullman]

Concerning account minimums: if I open a new account with the brokerage's minimum amount, will I be dropping below that immediately as they charge me fees meaning I'll need to deposit more right away? For example, opening an account with CMEG ($500 minimum), do I need to put more in to cover data fees, software fees, inactivity fees (any others I'm missing?) as I'd like to spend a few months paper trading to learn the platform and to show consistent profits? I recall you opened your small account challenge at Suretrader with ~$700 but after fees, it came to ~$583. I'm trying to figure out how much to deposit into my new CMEG account initially so I don't have to repeatedly pay wire transfer fees in order to keep my account balance above $500. Thanks for any info you can provide and for entertaining such a wordy question!

[JesseJo]

Thanks Ross I appreciate the information you produced.

[powertotheboondoctrine]

Thank you Jeb from the Minecraft team I will never forget this information.

You should do a video on margin violations when shorting stocks. Those are really daunting for people to read and understand when they're not familiar with the terminology, but those also could potentially screw people over without them even realizing it. In any case, great video!

[treehugginmegatron]

Interactive Brokers has amazing overnight margin interest rate. It's a swing traders dream.

[ebaz]

So I'm not using any margin but my account went to 24k

I got an Equity margin call
How long do I have to get the account back to 25k?

I don't see this being too bad as I have only used cash and not any margin.
I honestly would rather go to cash account, but only option I'm given is to reset my pdt status

[julian-gen]

I have an account well over 25k but still was hit with a PDT violation. They said I was trading a non-marginable security. I still do not understand PDT rules well.

[hakuinz]

I'm in a sub 25k cash account with no commissions right now so I can trade more until I grow to 25k+!! Thanks for the info Ross! Have a nice day :-)

[Ezellove]

If my account has 27K and I placed a trade worth 7, 000 (remain balance 20K) then I sold it in the same day with profit let’s say $300, would that makes my account under restriction or not? Because now I increased the account 27, 300, would I be okay to dat trade as much as I can?

[BNGMaster]

If I have a margin account of say $1000, I make a trade using my 4x leverage, buying $4000 worth and I lose, leaving my position at $2500, what happens?

[caanukul]

Thanks Ross . . Also.make video for minimum Monthly charges required to.pay for such day trading account

[mytube]

I have a basic question: for example, I have $30K cash and $90K margin limit, does it mean I can buy then sell $120K stocks unlimited times within a day without worrying about the T+2 rule?

[parknoyvimol]

Hey Ross, I was wondering, I will start live trading soon and am using SureTrader which option of SureTrader Pro did you use?
They have a few options available. Did you pick the regional quotes and Nasdaq book depth option?
Please let me know. Thank you.
