Before applying for a margin account, you should determine whether trading on margin is right for you given your specific investment objectives, experience, risk tolerance, and financial situation. For more complete information, please read the FINRA Margin Disclosure Statement.
Trading on margin is only for sophisticated investors with high risk tolerance. You may lose more than your initial investment. A decline in the value of securities that are purchased on margin may require you to deposit additional funds to your trading account. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC can force the liquidation of any securities in your account without prior notice if your equity falls below required levels, and you are not entitled to an extension of time in the event of a margin call. Please read more information regarding trading on margin at etrade.com/margin.
