Frequently Asked Questions

Margin trading allows you to borrow funds from a broker to purchase more shares than your cash balance would allow. You provide a portion of the trade value (the margin) and the broker lends the rest, charging interest on the borrowed amount.
Margin requirements on NGX vary by stock and broker. Typically, brokers require a margin of 40-60% of the trade value, meaning you borrow 40-60% of the purchase price. Blue-chip stocks may have lower margin requirements.
If the stock price falls below a certain level, you may receive a margin call requiring you to deposit additional funds or sell shares to reduce the borrowed amount. If you fail to meet the margin call, the broker may liquidate your position.
Margin lending rates in Nigeria typically range from 15% to 30% per annum, depending on the broker, loan tenure, and market conditions. Always confirm the applicable rate with your broker before taking a margin position.
Margin trading amplifies both gains and losses. While it can increase potential returns, it also significantly increases risk. This calculator is for educational purposes only and does not constitute trading advice.
