Monex to Deliver Margin Account Services for US Equities

Monex, Inc. (Monex), an online securities brokerage firm that forms the core of the Monex Group, Inc., announced today the introduction of margin account services for US equities in partnership with TradeStation Group, Inc.

TradeStation, also part of Monex Group, offers state-of-the-art trading technology and online electronic brokerage services to active individual and institutional traders.

The new offering will go live as of Monday, January 23, 2023. Previously, the launch was delayed due to system issues, explained the company. The US equity margin trading enables investors to trade twice the amount of their original capital (margin deposit) and buy and sell the same stock as many times as they wish on the same day.

"At the start of the service, only the PC version will be available for purchase, but in the future, we plan to expand the service in various ways to make margin trading of U.S. stocks more convenient, such as enabling trading via the 'TradeStation U.S. Stock Smartphone' and adding time periods to order types," said Monex. "Monex offers unique US equity trading services that set it apart from other Japanese online securities companies."
