Personal Trading Level
React to rapidly changing market conditions immediately without loss of opportunity by using our Personal Trading Level (PTL).
What is Personal Trading Level?
By holding your stock and cash with us in our Nominee and Cash Management facilities we can use these values to calculate and offer you a Personal Trading Level.
The Personal Trading Level is not a credit facility and cleared funds are still required when settlement is due.
Under current HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs) rules ISA and SIPP accounts must have cash up front to pay for trades.
How is the Personal Trading Level Calculated?
The Personal Trading Level is calculated on the value of the cash held in your Cash Management Service Account plus the value and quality of the stock held in your Nominee Account, less the value of any open positions you may have. When making a purchase this is then automatically adjusted according to the specific stock being purchased. This will be shown on your quotation as the amount available to spend in that specific stock.
