Margin Trading

Borrowing money from a broker to purchase securities.

Definition

Margin trading allows investors to buy more securities than they could with just their own money. While it can amplify gains, it also amplifies losses and carries the risk of margin calls if the account value falls below required levels.

Formula

保证金 = (证券市值 - 贷款金额) / 证券市值

Example

With $10,000 and 50% margin, you could buy $20,000 worth of stock. If the stock rises 10%, you gain $2,000 (20% return on your $10,000).
