That\u2019s not the case with Questrade, where your account supports investing in Canadian and US dollars. This means you can avoid forced currency conversions when trading. Questrade also supports share journalling, which is commonly known as Norbert\u2019s Gambit, that costs $9.95 per request for regular users but is free with Questrade Plus.<\/p> It\u2019s a similar story at Moomoo, where cash, margin and TFSA accounts are all able to hold USD as well as CAD. Moomoo\u2019s foreign exchange spreads are usually quite competitive too, so it\u2019s typically cost-effective to move between currencies. However, Moomoo RRSPs accept CAD deposits only.<\/p> Who\u2019s the winner?<\/h4>Questrade <\/strong>offers more accounts that accept USD.<\/p>Questrade vs Moomoo: Margin accounts<\/h3>A margin account lets you borrow money from your broker and use it to invest in stocks and other assets.

You can trade stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, options and bonds, while short selling is also available. Questrade also offers a Margin Power feature that allows you to tap into the equity in your TFSA and use it as collateral for margin trading.<\/p> Questrade\u2019s margin interest rates are shown in the table below.<\/p> CAD non-registered accounts<\/strong><\/td>| 8.70%<\/td> | 7.70%<\/td><\/tr> | CAD registered accounts (RRSP, TFSA etc.)<\/strong><\/td>| 12.55%<\/td> | 12.55%<\/td><\/tr> | USD non-registered accounts<\/strong><\/td>| 11.25%<\/td> | 10.25%<\/td><\/tr> | USD registered accounts (RRSP, TFSA etc.)<\/strong><\/td>| 15.10%<\/td> | 15.10%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> Moomoo only supports individual margin accounts, but it offers real-time alerts to help you keep track of your margin balances.
