  1. agreed, seems like that is one of the biggest complaints about ts, too many things, bogs down the system and you get lost!

    Yes 4X buying power is FREE at all brokerages. You only pay margin rates on positions held overnight. I don't use margin on overnight trades so I don't pay for overnight holds.

    Close out the position by the end of the day and there is no charge for 4X buying power.
