Marginal Stocks on Russell 2000

[JulianCohen]

Last night I discussed in the group chat about running an MR system that worked the Russell 2000 excluding the S&P so it can run alongside another system that only works the S&P. Nick warned me that all the stocks in the Russell 2000 might not be marginable so here is the answer from IB:

Some of the stocks in the Russell 2000 are marginable and others are not. There is not a general rule related to that specific index.

For a list of stocks with non-standard margin requirements, please see the link below:

I haven’t gone through the list yet but the info is there if anyone needs it

Interesting
I was checking the s&p500 most of them are not in the list so I assumed that they are all ok I mean they are 25% during the day and 50% overnight

But the Russells over there many are not 25%-50% most are different
