Adjusted Debit Balance

« Back to Dictionary Main | Browse other BROKER terms »

Value used to determine a margin account's position, as required by Regulation T. This is the amount a customer owes a broker, minus profits on short sales and balances in a special miscellaneous account. If the adjusted debit balance is very small, the customer can withdraw cash or securities from a margin account.
