    Can I ask some question about margin account?
    If I have $100,000 cash in margin account,
    How much is margin buying power?
    2 times higher than cash money? so margin buying power is
    $200,000?

    If you have to ask, I highly suggest you do not trade with margin.

    If Intraday stock trading, must I pay margin interest?
    or I must pay margin interest only for overnight?

    answer?
     
  9. You pay interest on margin only if you hold overnight.
    There is no interest for use of margin intraday.
