Trading Margin

yeaaa asked:


Right now i have a normal money market account on E-Trade and i have to wait 3 days for my money to come back so I was thinking of getting a margin account. This is what it says for the rate “6.99% (3.00% above base rate)” Can someone explain this to me?
I usually buy about 20,000 worth of a stock at a time
And does the margin get repaid when the money from the last trade becomes settled?

Currently at the time of writing I am 18 years of age and I have been practicing stock, commodity and currency trading in several different practice accounts. What I have discovered is that I am best at currency trading and I make the most money out of trading that way. With stocks and commodities I have had moderate successes but I’m better at FX trading than anything else and I’ve learned a lot too.

I also know that currency tends to trend long term such as a few months to a few years which is where currency options are best suited. Spot-forex trading on the other hand is traded on margin and is best suited to short term trading of the FX markets.

I have only had practice trading FX in spot-forex and spread betting, both of which had a return of several hundred percent. What I would like to know is what is the best way to trade forex out of currency options, spread betting or spot FX, and which is best suited to a UK resident to gain wealth? Please help/advise. Thanks.

P.S. Sorry its so long.

In a typical brokerage trading account, what are the differences between a cash and margin account when it comes to the treatment of negative balances?

Can somebody help me out here….I am not trading on margin, but I got a margin call today saying it was generated yesterday for about $65 and is due today. Do I have to meet that? I mean-I’m no longer
classified as being a patterned day trader. I don’t want to call the
broker because I no longer have the funds when I started and I don’t
want to loose my $3 per trade fee since I am no longer day trading. In
other words I don’t want to alert them. “Account margin equity falls below FINRA minimum maintenance
requirements.”
