It looks like it! I take it youâve seen the announcement since you posted this?
@Richard.W has made some enhancements to âCalculator 2â (referred to in this topic as the âAlternative Calculatorâ).
I strongly recommend using Calculator 2 today; it contains the latest bug-fixes and enhancements based on our testing and investigations over the weekend and on Monday.
If you previously used Calculator 1 to work out how much cash to add, I recommend checking your figures using Calculator 2.
@Supraman, thanks much appreciated.
I was just worried that Iâd lose out if I donât close the margins.
What would you recommend I do?
Thanks
What do you mean âneed to doâ? The margin increase happened yesterday.
Your margin indicator is currently close to 36%. 0.5Ă1403Ă·1942. Position(s) will close if it reaches 25%. That will happen when account value drops to half of the blocked funds. If you want to keep the position open you can add funds.
To be clear @A.Man, I donât think you need to âadd fundsâ to keep the position open. As @Richard.W says, your position will only close if your MARGIN STATUS drops to 25%. If the stock price rises then your MARGIN STATUS will increase and youâll get increasingly safer.
Unfortunately, although your FREE FUNDS are showing as 0, they are really -539 (I assume they were positive yesterday?). You therefore wonât be able to add new positions or withdraw any cash at the moment.
If Trading 212 revert the stock margins to 20% then your FREE FUNDS will return to its previous level.
Donât ask me that! I canât even figure out what to do with my own account. ![]()
What is the single stock you hold?
If its price rises/falls then youâll make as much profit/loss as you would before, but youâre tying up 2.5 more cash in order to achieve that profit/loss.
