Cash Accounts: There is $100 minimum required to open a cash account. Margin Accounts that do not engage in day trading: If you do not intend to engage in day trading, you may deposit as little as $2,000, and then maintain your account at or above that level. Day Trading Accounts: There is a $25,000 initial minimum required to establish a ChoiceTrade account. In addition to the minimum, in order to open a ChoiceTrade account, your account must be approved as a margin account. After your account is established, a $25,000 minimum account balance will also be required. Accounts that fall below the required minimum will be subject to certain restrictions, and additional funds may be required. In addition to these requirements, it is strongly recommended, but not required, that you have at least one year of online trading experience and at least one month of live trading experience on a direct access platform before opening a ChoiceTrade account.

In a cash account, you may generally buy up to the cash available in your account. In a margin account, you may generally buy (except for low-priced stocks) up to 2X the cash in your account. The difference between your purchase price and the cash available in your account is given to you in the form of a margin loan by our clearing firm, on which you pay interest for as long as you hold the position. Further, in a margin account, if you buy and sell within two business days, your sales proceeds are immediately available for a new purchase. In a cash account, you have to wait until the sale settles for funds to become available.
