How does S&P 500 margin trading work?
When a trader decides to margin trade on the S&P 500 they are deciding to take a position that will be larger in value than the capital they want to put on it. So, they rather put up a margin, which is an amount used as insurance, and then Commercial Pro Investments provides the rest to build up the position.
This margin amount is closely linked to the leveraging of the position and these margin accounts are then used to leverage the trading to make it more profitable in a successful trade, but they can also amplify losses by the leverage amount in unsuccessful trades.
The benefits of S&P 500 trading with leverage
- Magnified profitsMargin trading is known for its ability to make larger trades compared to deposited amounts. Margin trading is one of the most effective ways to increase potential returns
- DiversificationMargin trading means there is more available traders' capital left on the account which can be used to open new positions. Diversification allows to reduce market risk.
- Gaining from the market fall.Margin trading also allows traders to open long and short positions in order to profit from both growing and falling market.
S&P 500 leverage trading example
For example, If a trader takes a long position of $2,000 on the S&P 500 and it rises by 10%, using 5x leverage the same rise becomes a 50% profit, or $1,000. A similar spot trade without leverage would result in only 10% profit, or $200.
Disclaimer: Margin trading also comes with inherent risks if the position moves against the trade. You should never utilize 100% leverage and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
