3.7.11.3. Buying Power of Day-Trading Accounts

The minimum maintenance requirement for a day-trading account is 25%, the same as for the margin account of a trader holding a long position.

Equity over and above the minimum maintenance requirement for a day-trading account is called the maintenance margin excess. Day-trading accounts have a buying power of four times the maintenance margin excess.

I originally started studying for the series 24 with Test Teachers... After being frustrated with confusing material, out of date information, contradicting questions/answer/study guides, I bought Solomon's practice exams... After one test, two things became clear: I was grossly unprepared for the exam The material, though difficult, didn't have to be taught in such a confusing manner.I passed the 24 on the fist time because of the quality of the practice exams from Solomon. Thank you! Putting it another way...If you are using anyone else to study, you owe it to yourself and your efforts to buy the practice exams from Solomon to get a true judge of your studying efforts.

I really liked the Solomon study materials. They did a really nice job of explaining the material in plain language. I have a really long commute and the audio books came in really handy!! I would recommend the Solomon study materials!

I was very impressed with all elements of Solomon's Series 24 offerings. Solomon provided an incredibly organized system for me to utilize, which kept me "on point" and focused. I felt good confidence going into the test because of the structured system that Solomon developed. I would certainly recommend Solomon to anyone that is taking the Series 24.

I used Solomon to sit Series 24 and Series 79, passing with 81% and 88% respectively. Having looked at other material providers, Solomon stands out because of their prompt replies to student questions and the completeness of the answers provided – they are the best out there!

I recently passed my Series 24 using Solomon Exam Prep! It was the hardest exam I've taken to date. I found all the practice exams with specific feedback to be the most helpful, though the audiobook was very helpful as well.

I just took the Series 24 and passed with an 80%. I couldn't have done it without the Solomon test simulator.
