Margin requirement is industry standard at 30% of total portfolio (cash + margin loan)
e.g. You have 600k in equities purchased with cash and 400k in equities purchased on margin loan. The total portfolio is $1mil. The maintenance requirement is 600k + 400k = 1mil(30%) = 300k.
However, if your portfolio draws down 20% to 800k, the maintenance requirement also goes down to 800k(30%) = $240k
I'm looking for a formula where I can know what % drawdown my portfolio can handle until it hits a margin call.
I hope I explained that correctly, and thank you!
