what is margin plus trading?
360196
Don't know if this helps, but margin trading refers to the practice of borrowing money from your broker (by opening a margin account) and using the borrowed money to buy stock.\n\nI'm not really sure what "margin plus" trading refers to, or how it is different.

Contribution margin is sales revenue less variable costs. It is the amount available to pay for fixed costs and provide any profit after variable costs have been paid.\n\nIn this case\ncontribution margin = 1,200,000 - 215,000 = 985,000\n\ncontribution margin percentage = 985,000/1200000 *100 = 82.1%

There's sooooo much poor information here.\n\nWhen you invest in most stocks the Stock Exchange manages things so you are guaranteed to find a buyer if you're selling and guaranteed to find a seller if you're buying.  The large banks are granted favourable trading terms in return for being in the market and quoting a price to take those 200 MSFT shares off your hands.  They can drop the price they're prepared to pay when more people are selling than buying but they commit to being in the market and quoting a price most of the time.\n\nPink Sheets and Over The Counter are basically the same thing (the name Pink Sheets comes from the fact that closing prices were printed and distributed at the end of the trading day on pink paper).  It is a seperate market for stocks not quoted on the main market.  Basically, when you want to buy or sell a stock there is no guarantee there will be anyone prepared to trade with you.  The more popular stocks normally trade reasonably well but there are thousands of stocks on the OTC market that trade no volume for weeks at a time.  Most of the shareholders will be held privately and if no one is prepared to sell you're not going to be able to buy.  If you are able to find a seller you run the risk of paying a large spread (the difference between the buy and sell price).  On the main market the buy or sell price for MSFT will be the same.  On the OTC market the buy price for a stock might be $10 higher than the sell price.\n\nThe biggest danger is that something happens to the stock while you're holding it and you find yourself locked in.  If I buy MSFT I can sell the stock seconds after bad news is announced by going to my PC and logging onto my brokerage account.  If I hold OTC stock I can only sell my stock if there's someone out there prepared to buy.\n\nOTC stocks are not neceessarily up and coming, as with penny stocks choose very carefully.  Stocks quote on the OTC market for a number of reasons, and there are definately some bargains out there.  But it is much much more risky than the main market.

That is up to the seller. Usually they subtract the cost from the marked price and divide that number by the cost to get a margin. That says what they want to mark. But many times they are stuck because of competition and can't charge more than their competitors. Sometimes it is an end of season clearance and they will mark a price that will (hopefully) cover their costs.Other times they mark a loss-leader price that is intended to get you into the store to buy something very cheap and hopefully stay and buy other items that are not low-priced.

someone wants to buy partial ownership of a company, and someone wants to sell partial ownership.  The stock is transferred, and fees are extracted for the service.  Someone eventually wins and someone loses, but the financial institutions make money on the trade no matter what.

Many brokerages use the same leased system which does not do real-time margin calculations, only updates overnight.  In other words, your account does have the cash from your sale but the computer won't know that until tomorrow.\n\nYou can't take the funds out of account until settlement day, but generally speaking one can telephone a representative @ the brokerage and place a new order to buy the same day as the sale.  The representative will see what has happened.\n\nMany brokerages will do this "live" order at the usual low online commission, but yours may impose a fee or a higher commission.  Good idea to find out first.

If you have a margin account, you can trade immediately with the money.  Don't be classified as a pattern daytrader, you can get a margin call.  Exceptions are if you have over $25,000 in your account.  \n\nWith a cash account the settlement date is usually three business days after the trade was executed.

Yes, it is possible.  You generally have to apply through your brokerage and state your occupation and salary just in case so they know.  \n\nBuying on Margin is more risky since you are borrowing. Be sure to check your brokerage's interest rates and their margin requirements and when they might do a margin call.\n\nIf you do get into trouble, I would advise selling your stock before raising more cash for your account.

Trading currency means borrowing in currency X and converting it into currency Y in the hope that currency Y will appreciate against currency X.  When you are ready to close your trade, you convert back from currency Y to currency X.  If Y has appreciated against X, you make a profit.  \n\nNowadays currency trading has been made very easy.  You just have to decide whether you want to buy or sell a particular pair of currency.  For example, if you buy EUR/USD at 1.30, you gain if the rate goes up and lose if it goes down.

You won't lose more than you have invested. \n\nOnly idiots trade on margin when they don't know what they're doing.  So assuming you're not an idiot, and you're trading in cash only, you can't lose more than your initial investment.\n\n--J.

It changes constantly.\n\nBid prices are the outstanding buy orders.\nOffer prices are the outstanding sell orders.\n\nIf the lowest offer matches the highest bid, a trade is made.  If there is a gap, say, the highest bid is 1,90 and the lowest offer is 1,94 , that means that there is currently no-one prepared to pay more than 1,90 to buy, and no-one prepared to accept less than 1,94 to sell.  There will be no trade unless:\n1) someone places a "market" order, ie buy/sell at the current bid/offer prices\n2) someone places a high bid matching the low offer, (or v.v.).\n\nSometimes there is no spread.  Bid and offer match, (with high volumes).  Sometimes the spread can be enormous , and sometimes it can even be negative...

They hedge themselves on the "real" FX markets - by actually trading the amount of money you dealt with in your trade. \n\nAs most internet FX trading is all geared, most of the reputable FX dealers are associated or partnered with a back or investment bank that guarantees those "loans" in your leveraged trade.\n\nThey keep client money in a trust account, if you are profit and you close out your position, you get paid your profit and your capital returned. If you realise a loss, you pay out the loss out of your capital and more if you aren't protected.\n\nSome brokers trade "naked" but I'd rather stay away from those kinds. That is without hedging their position in the market or by executing the position that their client takes in the market.
