    50% of the price of the transaction.

    Explanation:

    According to regulation T there needs to be a deposit of 50% of the purchase amount. The closing amount has no effect on the deposit required.

    So for example if a listed stock in margin account is to be sold and transaction amount is $5,000, there needs to be a deposit of $2,500.
