What do you actually look at when comparing MTF offers?
I’ve been looking into Margin Trading Facility (MTF) recently, and one thing I noticed is that comparing brokers purely based on the leverage they offer can be a bit misleading.
Two brokers could offer similar leverage but have very different:
- Interest rates on the funded amount
- Maximum funding limits
- Stocks eligible for MTF
- Collateral/haircut rules
- Margin call and liquidation policies
So the “4x leverage” or “5x leverage” number doesn't really tell the whole story.
For anyone who actually uses MTF, what do you consider the most important factor when choosing a broker?
