What are the risks when trading on margin?
Initial Margin Disclosure Statement
Your brokerage firm is furnishing this document to you to provide some basic facts about purchasing securities on margin, and to alert you to the risks involved with trading securities in a margin account. Before trading stocks in a margin account, you should carefully review the margin agreement provided by your firm. Consult your firm regarding any questions or concerns you may have with your margin accounts.
When you purchase securities, you may pay for the securities in full or you may borrow part of the purchase price from your brokerage firm. If you choose to borrow funds from your firm, you will open a margin account with the firm. The securities purchased are the firm’s collateral for the loan to you. If the securities in your account decline in value, so does the value of the collateral supporting your loan, and, as a result, the firm can take action, such as issue a margin call and/or sell securities or other assets in any of your accounts held with the member, in order to maintain the required equity in the account.
It is important that you fully understand the risks involved in trading securities on margin. These risks include the following:
You can lose more funds than you deposit in the margin account. A decline in the value of securities that are purchased on margin may require you to provide additional funds to the firm that has made the loan to avoid the forced sale of those securities or other securities or assets in your account(s).
The firm can force the sale of securities or other assets in your account(s). If the equity in your account falls below the maintenance margin requirements or the firm’s higher “house” requirements, the firm can sell the securities or other assets in any of your accounts held at the firm to cover the margin deficiency. You also will be responsible for any short fall in the account after such a sale.
The firm can sell your securities or other assets without contacting you. Some investors mistakenly believe that a firm must contact them for a margin call to be valid, and that the firm cannot liquidate securities or other assets in their accounts to meet the call unless the firm has contacted them first. This is not the case. Most firms will attempt to notify their customers of margin calls, but they are not required to do so. However, even if a firm has contacted a customer and provided a specific date by which the customer can meet a margin call, the firm can still take necessary steps to protect its financial interests, including immediately selling the securities without notice to the customer.
You are not entitled to choose which securities or other assets in your account(s) are liquidated or sold to meet a margin call. Because the securities are collateral for the margin loan, the firm has the right to decide which security to sell in order to protect its interests.
The firm can increase its “house” maintenance margin requirements at any time and is not required to provide you advance written notice. These changes in firm policy often take effect immediately and may result in the issuance of a maintenance margin call. Your failure to satisfy the call may cause the member to liquidate or sell securities in your account(s).
You are not entitled to an extension of time on a margin call. While an extension of time to meet margin requirements may be available to customers under certain conditions, a customer does not have a right to the extension.
How do I access my account after opening/ linking the account?

What do I need to know about trading in fast-moving markets?
There are occasions when market activity increases to a point where quotations and trade processing systems cannot keep pace with rapidly changing prices. The prices of some stocks can soar and drop suddenly, causing investors to suffer unexpected losses very quickly. In fast markets, many investors trading at the same time can cause automated execution systems to become overcrowded and delays to develop at some trading destinations (i.e. NYSE, NASDAQ Market Makers). Executions and confirms slow down, while quote displays may not reflect actual current market prices. System access and system response will vary due to market conditions and other factors.
- Trading under these conditions involves risks that you need to be aware of:
- Market orders are subject to execution prices that may differ significantly from the price quoted at the time you enter your order.
- Canceling an existing order and then re-entering a new order can result in both orders being filled. After sending your request, the order will show as cancel requested on the order status screen but may be subject to a late execution report, causing both the old and the new order to be executed. If you are unsure if your order was executed, please call us at 1-800-SEAPORT.
What is a market order?
Market orders are placed without a specified price and executed as soon as possible at the best available price when the order reaches its destination. Your order will be executed, but you have no control over the execution price on the trade.
What is the difference between a Limit order and a Stop order?
When a buyer places a limit order they are specifying the maximum amount they are willing to pay for a stock. The order will not be executed unless the order can be filled at the limit price or lower. A limit order prevents your trade from being executed at a price higher than your limit price, but there is also a possibility that you’ll miss the market and your trade will not be executed.
When a buyer places a buy stop order they are placing an order to buy if, and when the market rises to a specified price. If the buy stop price is reached, the order will trigger, at which point it becomes a market order and is filled at the next available price. A buy stop price must be set above the market.
A buy stop limit is a stop order, which becomes a limit order when the stop price is reached. Once the stop price is reached the order is triggered and becomes a limit order. Once stopped, the order will not be executed unless the order can be filled at the limit price or lower. Both the buy stop price and the buy limit price must be set above the market.
When a seller places a limit order they are specifying the minimum amount they are willing to receive for their stock. The order will not be executed unless the order can be filled at the limit price or higher.
When a seller places a stop order they are placing an order to sell if and when the market drops to a specified price. If the sell stop price is reached, the order will trigger, at which point it becomes a market order and is filled at the next available price. A sell stop price must be set below the market.
A sell stop limit is a stop order, which becomes a limit order when the stop price is reached. Once the stop price is reached the order is triggered and becomes a limit order. Once stopped, the order will not be executed unless the order can be filled at the limit price or higher. Both the sell stop price and the sell limit price must be set below the market.
What common errors are made when entering trades online?
Entering a stock price as a fraction instead of a decimal (i.e. 80 1/2 vs. 80.5).
Leaving a field on the order entry page blank (i.e. account type).
Using the wrong option trading format when entering an option order.
