Margin Trading


A Margin Trading is a way to leverage the capital and securities you own to purchase additional investments without having to invest any additional capital. You simply borrow from the Bank to buy more securities. Margin trading allows you to buy more stocks than you'd be able to buy under normal conditions.

The Bank uses all the stocks, those already in your margin account and stocks that you intend to buy, as collateral.
