So I have an account with 1:1 leverage that is down 35% because the average is down ~17%. I stopped using leverage a few weeks ago and have put more cash in to try to safeguard myself from volatility and margin calls. How much should I buy to protect myself assuming I’m holding google and comcast and Microsoft and Facebook mostly. What ratio would I need of cash to margin to stay safer. 2:1 , 3:1, 5:1. I don’t want to close out my positions at a loss just to get rid of the leveraged funds. so I’m averaging down but don’t know how far in to go. Since I’ve stopped using new leverage I’m currently at like 1.5:1 ratio. Many thanks(:
