I have more leverage. You don't have to believe anything, it's right there in the description of Portfolio Margin, and it requires a certain account size.

What does any of this background check have to do with your claim that more capital doesn't provide more leverage - when it quite literally does?

A background check reveals assets of yours that would be collateral for the loan.
That's not how it works. You have capital in the account or you don't. That's what the regulations stipulate and brokers can't break them just because you have more assets, nor have they ever run a background check on me.
