  • Margin trading requires an investor to be extra vigilant in monitoring his/ her margin account portfolio to ensure that the margin does not fall below the required level especially during periods of enhanced volatility.
  • Use margin for a basket of stocks because it reduces the odds of a margin call triggered by a major decline in one stock.
  • Assess to ensure that trading on margin is appropriate to your financial circumstances risk tolerance and financial objectives.
  • Use margin for opportunity (short -term) trading because interest costs on margin debt can add up to a substantial amount and make a major dent on your profits.
  • Do not leverage to the hilt. Borrow less than the maximum amount allowable in your account to avoid the risk of a margin call.
