Leverage
Margin Accounts below $100,000 are customarily extended to a 6:1 intraday and 2:1 overnight leverage. Anything other than 6:1 intraday or 2:1 overnight is a specially negotiated rate. Often, we may extend higher leverage (up to 30:1 on intraday and 6:1 on overnight positions).
Margin Accounts over $100,000 are customarily extended to an 8:1 intraday and 4:1 overnight leverage. Anything other than 8:1 intraday or 4:1 overnight is a specially negotiated rate. 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, except for the CASH + program according to the Pricing.
