nope. funds must be available before trading

now I understand

... ask your local investment bank lor...

margin account means you have 2x buying power...say you have $5k cash...you can buy up to $10k of stocks... ib will create a $5k loan for you

if your stocks drop in value...your account value drops and so does your buying power...your $5k loan is now too "high" and ib will auto liquidate some of you stocks

iirc... if your margin account drops below $1k or something ...it automatically change to cash account

got pattern day trader regulations as well... can't trade more than 3 times per week if you have less than $25k in margin account

can

we ppl here generally kiasu...so wanna extract every cent

secret is to get super rich...go for convenience... bank fees become nothing

poor ppl buy perodua after warranty expires look for cheap outside workshop... rich ppl buy porsche gets driver to send back for factory service

if ppl say they are rich...just that still wanna save or don't want bank to profit from their hard earned money... they are not rich enough

account value drop below XXXX...margin account temporary becomes cash account afaik...

margin for stocks different from margin for derivatives ...don't know your case so hard to say why... account details may give clue to why...

if can buy last time but now cannot...most likely available margin is below initial margin to buy your put option

did you find out the problem?

should be like normal remittance i guess... sgd to usd...-> wire -> usd to myr... but why wanna go this route

buying power is around 2x... not 3x

korek

for shares/etf... margin is your buying power... deposit $1000, you can borrow $1000 as "margin financing” to buy $2000 worth of shares/etf

for derivatives like futures/options... margin is the amount/deposit required before you can buy/sell a contract...for micro dow futures you need $2600 to place on order

TD only in usd... for US market only... so not really stupid

oh I forgot I follow reg-t which is 2x

you can ignore the no market data warning and just send...
