TW Leverage Calculator

Project Overview

Trading regulations, terminology, and common practices can vary significantly between markets. This project addresses the specific needs of traders operating within the Taiwan stock market (台股). Standard international financial calculators often don't align perfectly with local rules (e.g., maintenance margin percentages, collateral calculation methods). This tool provides a focused suite of calculators—Margin Call (斷頭), Leverage (槓桿), Stock Collateral Value (補股票折抵率), and Risk Tolerance Assessment—using parameters and language familiar to Taiwanese traders, aiming to be a practical, everyday resource for managing trades and risk within the local context.

Key Features & Solutions

• Taiwan-Specific Margin Call Logic: Implemented the margin call calculation based on the standard 130% maintenance ratio common in the Taiwan market (while still allowing user input)
• Stock Collateral (Pledge) Calculator: Created a specific tool to calculate the usable collateral value of pledged stocks based on market price and broker-defined discount rates (折抵率).
• Relevant Terminology (Implied): Designed the interface and results using terminology familiar to Taiwanese traders (e.g., 斷頭風險, 槓桿比率, 維持率).
• Risk Tolerance Assessment: Included a multi-question survey to provide users with a profile (Conservative to Aggressive) relevant to investment decisions in the local market.
