3.2.2.4.3. 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. For example, if a day trader holds stock having a current market value of $600,000, his required maintenance margin is $150,000 ($600,000 / 4). If he has equity in his account of $200,000, his main

Even though there is no such thing as a guaranteed success in the securities industry, there is a likelihood of strong returns if you are able to make the right risk / reward choices at the right time.

If you are taking a test one of those choices is Solomon materials. Just follow their guidance. It worked for me, 3 times in a row, 7, 63, 24!

Eric Altmann, New York, NY

I would like to say that Solomon test prep had the most varied and comprehensive test bank I have seen. The questions ranged in difficulty and the answer feedback was so detailed, that I felt that I was mastering concepts rather than trying to pin down certain facts in a question just to get the 'one,' answer. I saw many iterations of the sample examinations, and with the courage to keep clicking next and learning, I passed with a score I'm more than happy to claim. Also, the staff are very responsive. I'll be coming back.

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

Joseph Shapiro, Edward Jones Investments, St. Louis, MO

I was very apprehensive about the Series 24 exam prior to taking it. Everyone I knew who had taken it informed me that it was an incredibly difficult test, with questions that were meant to trick you. After following Solomon's six week study outline and making flashcards for my weakest areas, I was averaging in the high 80s on the Solomon practice exams. That gave me the confidence I needed to walk into the test center feeling prepared, and the knowledge I needed to walk out of the test center having scored an 88. I am now recommending the Solomon Series 24 materials to everyone at the office!

Janie Richards, Austin, Texas

I passed the Series 24 on the first try with an 80%! This was the highest of all of my Series exam scores and I attribute much of my success to Solomon's amazing study materials. The practice exams are spot-on and the video lectures were a great supplement to the readings. I suggest following the study schedule Solomon provides for a successful outcome!
