Margin 101 | 08 A 10% post-earnings drop: what happens to an account running 2× leverage?

Once an account is granted a margin limit, some users think: If the system says it is available, shouldn't I use all of the buying power? A margin limit represents a ceiling on what you may use. It is not a suggested position size.

Margin 101 | 06 Your position falls 15% — does that trigger a margin call?

A margin call is a demand for additional margin. When a margin account's net assets or risk level no longer meet the maintenance margin requirement, a user may need to: add cash or eligible assets; repay part of the financing; or reduce existing positions.

Margin 101 | 05 Same USD 10,000 order: why can the margin required differ so much between two stocks

Some users notice: I bought USD 10,000 of two different stocks — why did one tie up less margin than the other? Because securities differ in risk, volatility and liquidity, the applicable margin requirements may differ too.

Margin 101 | 04 How does short selling work? Reading short risk through the 2021 GameStop squeeze

An ordinary stock trade usually goes: Buy first, then sell after the price rises. That is going long. Short selling reverses the order: Borrow the security and sell it first, then buy it back later and return it.

Margin 101 | 03 Want to buy NVIDIA but only hold AUD — do you have to convert to USD first?

Many Australian investors hold mainly AUD in their accounts, while the names they follow — NVIDIA, Tesla, Apple and others — trade in USD. In a cash account, a user generally needs to hold cash in the relevant currency first.A margin account supports multi-currency financing. Tiger currently supports AUD, USD, HKD and CNH financing; actual capacity and scope are subject to your account page and approval outcome.

Margin 101 | 02 Sale proceeds haven't settled — does the next trade have to wait?

Say you sold an Apple holding on Monday, and later the same day you spot a fresh opportunity in NVIDIA or another stock. Once you sell, the order is filled — but the cash may still be working its way through settlement. $Apple(AAPL)$ $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Since 28 May 2024, the standard settlement cycle for most US securities transactions has shortened from T+2 to T+1. In other words, a US stock sold on Monday will normally settle on the next business day.

Margin 101 | 01 Buying AAPL before an Apple event: does an unused limit accrue interest?

When users open the margin account page, many see a "margin limit" or "available buying power" and immediately wonder: Have I already borrowed money? Will this limit start accruing interest straight away? The answer: a margin limit is not the same as money borrowed. Your margin limit represents the financing capacity you may be able to draw on, within your approved limit, your asset position and the applicable margin requirements. Interest only arises once you actually draw on margin funds and a margin balance is created. Tiger charges margin interest on the amount actually borrowed, not on your full approved limit.

From Options Basics to Advanced Strategies: Understanding the Logic Behind Stock and Options Trading

Novice Tutorial Function Description For those new to options, understanding how option prices change under expected market fluctuations is the most important lesson. We provide novice tutorial content to facilitate your understanding. If we believe TSLA may rise sharply next, the strategy we commonly use is the buy call option strategy: As of May 12th, if we think Tesla will rise from the current 432 to 447 by June 1st, it can be seen that not all call options expiring on June 1st will be profitable — we should choose the appropriate option with a strike price of 425, with an expected return rate of +2.49%. Options with other strike prices will result in losses. In-depth Learning If you still feel confused about option trading and want to systematically learn more option knowledge or the
