5. Margin is 50% and maintenance margin overnight is 25%. Can get complicated if you sell a stock and then you daytrade it. Can someone please explain using some real examples of how this would work? I have not done trading like above only because I couldn't get a good answer that I understood! Money should be in MBT this week (coming over from Webstreet) and found myself missing some plays (holding for a morning gap, then daytrading it) because I didn't want fo find myself in trouble. I would normally just sell on the gap and forget about trading it further. TIA Sheri
