Or you can use higher leverage and increase your buying power as if you have +$20k more in your account, without having to take a loan.

For example, with S&P emini futures you can have 20:1 leverage, with Canadian dollar futures 200:1 or more. With single stock futures you'll get 5:1 leverage.

But higher leverage = bigger loss/profit = higher risk. If you don't use it propery and over-leverage bad trades, you can loose more than your account value and end up owing $20k+ as a margin loan.

Overall, higher leverage is much better than an outright loan for the experienced trader. Why take a loan, when with higher leverage you'll get de facto the same result?

GG, I second the removal of the pic (cheesy)

also, if you are relying on a car to get some punani, you are definitely doing something wrong.

But seriously I wish you the best in trading (and advise against borrowing to trade)

I agree with what Don Bright said. If you are trading for a living and are consistently profitable, but it's the size of your account that is holding you back, then join a professional trading firm where they will give you access to as much capital as you need to trade (within limits).

I was in the same position as you and this is why I joined a pro firm.
