How much leverage do new margin accounts receive?

Eligible margin accounts at TradeZero America may use up to 4x intraday leverage between 4:00 AM ET and 4:00 PM ET.

Positions held after 4:00 PM ET are generally subject to overnight margin requirements and reduced leverage availability, typically up to 2x.

Actual buying power and leverage availability can vary depending on:

  • Account equity

  • Security volatility
  • Concentration
  • Existing positions
  • Other applicable risk controls

TradeZero America may reduce leverage or apply additional restrictions where appropriate.

Margin trading involves substantial risk and is not suitable for every investor.
