What is unpaid-balance (misu) trading?

Den svenska versionen av den här sidan förbereds. Tills vidare visas innehållet på engelska.

Unpaid-balance trading means buying shares on credit, using as collateral a margin deposit equal to part of the purchase price (usually 40% or more) and the shares you hold.

If the remaining amount is not paid by the settlement date (T+2), the securities firm sells the shares in the account through forced liquidation.
