Supplemental Leverage:  How it Works

Through sub-contracted trading accounts, both licensed and non-licensed equity traders are able to access professional trading leverage up to an equivalent 30:1 intraday and 6:1 overnight.  Sub-contractor accounts effectively utilize a combination of trader capital and private firm capital to reach an amount of equity equivalent to twenty five percent of the total buying power allocated to the trader's sub-account.

Calculating Supplemental Leverage:

Intraday leverage or buying power is determined based on the total amount of trader equity at the beginning of each trading day and is allocated to your account by the designated broker-dealer representative.  Buying power multipliers, (the number by which capital is multiplied to obtain intraday buying power), is pre-determined during the account setup process according to client requests and various qualifiers.

For example, Trader A opens an account with $5,000 and is approved for a multiplier of 10x.  This trader would receive the equivalent of $50,000 ($5,000 x 10)  intraday buying power for all equities trading activity and up to 6 times their capital for overnight trading.

In effect, trader capital is supplemented by firm capital provided by our affiliate private capital group's.  Trader's receive authorization to trade sub-contracted accounts owned by these private capital groups via a Limited Trading Authorization provided by the clearing firms.

Leverage for sub-contractor accounts is determined by several factors including:

• Trader experience level and trading style

• Initial amount of risk capital

• Diversification of positions and % of overnight holdings

All sub-contractor accounts receive a minimum of 10:1 intraday buying power and 4:1 overnight buying power.  However, based on the above factors, traders may receive up to 30 times intraday and 6 times overnight equivalent buying power.  All buying power determinations are made by WTC and our affiliate private capital groups.  Buying power is adjusted and allocated to sub-contractor accounts by the designated broker-dealer representative on a daily basis.  Please review our Trading Services section for complete details pertaining to buying power allocation.

This type of supplemental trading leverage can be extremely beneficial to those traders who wish to trade actively on an intraday or overnight basis, but do not wish to allocate the $25,000 minimum required by the NASD or do not have the funding to open a full "daytrading" account.
