CONFIGURING YOUR ACCOUNT
Trading on margin increases an investor's leverage and buying power. While you may enjoy greater gains, you also risk greater losses and must pay financing charges.
Earn additional income on fully paid and excess margin securities by permitting IBKR to lend those securities to third parties. Program activities are managed entirely by IBKR and require no actions on the part of participants.
