On Margin Accounts, Leverage interest is based on 1-month US Dollar LIBOR interest rate, but not less than 100 bps, plus mark-up.
Long margin interest is charged daily on the cost of open long positions.
Short margin interest is calculated on a case by case basis depending on stock availability and prevailing prime brokers’ interest rates.
Margin Accounts below $100,000 (considered “Reg T” accounts) are customarily extended a 6:1 intraday and 2:1 overnight leverage. Often, we may extend higher leverage (up to 30:1 on intraday and 6:1 on overnight positions).
Margin Accounts over $100,000 (considered “Portfolio Margin” accounts) are customarily extended an 8:1 intraday and 4:1 overnight leverage. Often, we may extend higher leverage (up to 40:1 on intraday and 10:1 on overnight positions).
Alaric Securities does not pay interest and does not apply charges on cash balances in Cash or Margin Accounts.
For example, if you trade over 1,000,000 shares per month using Sterling Trader and qualify for the $0.0020 per share rate, you will be charged only $0.0020 per share on all shares traded, not just those in excess of 1,000,000 in any given month.
