Highest Leverage?

[PoeDogg]

Does anyone know what online broker offers the highest leverage on stocks held overnight?
I cannot find a comparison of leverage per broker on the internet, so asking here might give a quicker result than researching/asking each broker.
Thanks!

What possible reason would you want the highest possible leverage on overnight stocks? Madness

If you want a non useless answer how about giving us more info. What country are you trading in? This make a HUGE difference. There's a reason you don't find any comparison charts for US brokers.

Why is that?

In the US margin and leverage is regulated by the SEC (Securities Exchange Commission). The MINIMUM you must have to hold a stock overnight is 50% of the stock's value. Since virtually all brokers here adhere to the minimum there is no difference between brokers. Other countries are different but if you live in the US it may be illegal to open certain foreign brokerage accounts in order to sidestep SEC regulations.

Hmmm....I didn't know that.
Thank you.

P.S., that was much more helpful then your first post.

high leverage is not so important cause you have to risk not more than 1 - 2 %.
