Okay, I just got off the phone with Sogo.
The rep was pretty helpful.
At any rate, I will NOT open an account there for the following reasons:
1) They charge margin interest beginning on T+1, which really is a massive hidden fee compared to other brokerage firms (as others here have mentioned).
But if intrdaytrading, they dont charge margin interest?
So for daytrader, they are so nice!
Quote from birdman:
most retail brokerages work like this ...
your buying power on a margin enabled account will be 2 times
if you have $25k in your account they can allow your margin enabled account to having buying power of 4 times on positions opened and closed during that day ... this means if you want to hold the position overnight (longer than the market day) your buying power is 2 times for overnight holds
Quote from amm:
Margin buying power is 4 times of cash in account,
so I have $100,000 in account, then my buying power
is $400,000.
I buy stockA with $400,000, then sell with $400,000
then I buy stockB with $400,000, then sell with $400,000
then I buy stockC with $400,000, then sell with $400,000
in these, can I rotate this $400,000 to buy, sell different stocks
with limitless?
