"The money an investor has available to buy securities. In a margin account, the buying power is the total cash held in the brokerage account plus maximum margin available. Also referred to as "excess equity." For example, if you have $1,000 cash in a margin account and the maximum margin rate is 50%, then your total buying power is $2,000.

What does does buying a stock on margin mean?
Buying on margin means the broker you use will lend you additional money to trade, but they also begin charging interest for the money as soon as you use it. It's a little like a credit card, but you have to pay interest from the moment you use the money. You must fill out an application for a margin account and be approved by the broker. There is a chance too for what's called "a margin call." This can occur if a stock you buy on margin goes down to a point they deem is too low and they'll want you to put more money in the account to help cover the loss. Also, if a trader wants to short stocks they'll need to open a margin account to do so. I have a margin account, but rarely use it unless the general market trend up is very strong or if I want to short. Otherwise, you can really get in a bad way if the stock goes down and you're paying 10% on the original balance too. Trade on! http://stock-trading-warrior.com

Can you have margin on an IRA account?
According to IRA regulations, if any part of an IRA is used as collateral, the entire IRA is considered to be distributed. Distribution of such accounts are subject to income taxes and an additional penalties. This is important because margin accounts require that you pledge your account as collateral. Your attempt to convert an IRA account into a margin account will nullify it's "qualified" status. It is for this reason that investment firms will not provide margin for a retirement account. Also, you are not allowed to have/keep a debit balance in a IRA account ***Revision Updated as Feb. 5, 2011 Select few brokerages will grant margin on IRA accounts. However, the margin capability will not be allowed leverage. The alternative purpose for seeking margin account is to avoid the settlement period (3 days, in which, the proceeds and principal cannot be used). Interactive Brokers and TD Ameritrade allow margining IRAs for settlement avoidances, only. This service has been approved be the Securities Exchange Commission. Bottom line: YES, you can margin an IRA account. NOT, for leveraging purposes.
