Perhaps now. As everyone is in the sideline, you risk a longer lock-in period or an early entry. Investing in US stocks, Does anyone know how?

QUOTE(danmooncake @ Sep 4 2009, 03:59 AM) Are you doing daytrading? I thought the minimum requirement to do daytrading would be having 25,000$ in account(as per SEC regulatory). So you have more than 25,000 in your account? |

QUOTE(danmooncake @ Sep 4 2009, 12:15 PM) Actually, there is. The FINRA rules apply across the board regardless of broker. What happens when u get flagged?The pattern day trader rules kick in when you buy and sell same security within same day between 3-4 times in 5 business a day. Yes, one must maintain at last 25K on any day as min. equities (that includes all your equities/cash). Only if you get flagged then you are considered as one. If you didn't get flagged, then don't worry about it. Yours truly has been flagged as pattern day trader. |

Do you guys know how does the margin work in US brokerage? I'm using speedtrader now and recently received a fed call.
a) How do they calculate the margin maintenance? b) How do I prevent a strike if stocks plunge in value other than by wiring in more money? My broker says if I sold some of my position I'm liable for a strike. I'm very confused now. If I sell my position to retain the margin maintenance, I thought it will prevent a strike? If anyone can answer, I'd be most thankful! |
