Your available buying power for a security can differ from your full buying power, depending on the security you are trading and how concentrated your portfolio is in that security.

The initial requirement for a marginable security is the minimum amount you must have to cover the trade before investing on margin, which is generally 50%.

Keep in mind, certain securities, including those in which you have a concentrated position or that are more volatile, may require a minimum amount that is more than 50% to cover the trade.

Your available buying power for these securities is reflected on the security’s detail page and during the process of making the trade.

Margin investing is a high risk product. Leverage can magnify your losses and you could lose more than your initial capital. You must also repay your margin loan and any interest charges, which may result in the sale of securities. Before using margin, customers must determine whether this type of trading strategy is right for them given their specific investment objectives, experience, risk tolerance, and financial situation.

Robinhood can change its maintenance requirement ratios at any time without prior notice. If the equity in your account decreases to less than the total maintenance requirement, you’ll have to deposit additional cash or close positions to reduce your margin loan. If you fail to meet your minimums, Robinhood may sell some or all of your securities, with or without your prior approval.
