    When you trade on margin and you get in and out of a trade on the same day, when is the margin interest charged. Do they bill you at the end of the day, month, year?

    No charge for daytrades...
     
  3. Generally most firms charge by the 'average daily balance carried"..so if you are flat 10 days but carry a debt 12 days they will use a formula based on the avg of these two for the month
