BP
BP p.l.c.
stock NYSE ADR

This requires math on your own, but here is how to calculate it if your account is maintenance driven.
Add Margin Equity to the account info(where you see your BP). Take your margin equity and subtract the total margin requirements for your positions. (You may have BP effect showing on your positions and may need to switch it to margin requirement).
Once you have margin equity-margin requirement(this is maintenance excess), you divide maintenance excess by the requirement of the security you are trying to buy.
Exp: you have $10k margin equity in your account. Your positions have $2500 maintenance requirement. Take $7500 and divide by the requirement.
QQQ=25% requirement
$7500/.25=$30,000 you can buy of QQQ
T/SQQQ=75% requirement
$7500/.75=$10,000.00 you can buy of those funds

Say you have 100 shares of AMZN worth 23200. At Schwab you will have 16240 in buying power (BP) that can be used as collateral to sell any options if you have the proper approval level.
Mag 10 (MGTN) is an index that consists of the Mag 7 companies plus 3 more. (AMZN is one of the Mag 7).
You can sell AMZN covered calls. Your shares can be called away.
Or you can sell a MGTN call. The collateral needed is 14 K which is covered by the 16K BP of AMZN.
Your AMZN cannot be called away. If the MGTN call is in the money, you will settle in cash by the amount ITM x 100. 

Balance your portfolio by adding a broad global index fund like VWRP to lower your risk, since your holdings are currently heavily concentrated in individual UK stocks.
While dividend stocks like BP and HSBC bring solid returns, leaning entirely on single UK companies misses out on international growth sectors like tech and healthcare. Aim to put 70% to 80% into a global ETF as your core foundation, keeping individual stocks to a smaller 20% to 30% portion.

That's a great question :) The BP score is a reflection of the Moat, Econ, Mgmt, value. These are the old school Buffett 4 pillars methodologies. Only NVidia passes 2 of these pillars. What these companies show is, a share price can go through the roof regardless of debt or intrinsic value and margin of safety, book value etc. The RV is relative valuation and means these companies are expensive compared to it's peers. In this case they are because their share price is so high. Hope this helps.

So big distinction there, intraday buying power is a new metric implemented after they removed the pattern day trade rule. I believe that is the total amount in margin that you can transact in a single session, not how much you have available all at once to purchase with. So for example if you had 10K intraday BP you could buy and then immediately sell a $500 stock 10 times, but you couldn’t buy $10K of the stock all at once.
I think what you’re looking for is “buying power effect” on the order review screen. So SPYM is like $86 a share, but the BP effect says it is a debit of $43 in buying power. So about half.

Not sure we are talking the same thing, but when I sell Options , I just scope it out in the analyze page and it is to the penny the BP required.

So my supposed intraday buying power is $15k, but it looks like the maximum BP that I can use for SQQQ is $5200. It only gives a warning that it could result in a margin loan. 
When I try to buy more than that, it gives a warning that execution of this order may result in a concentrated position and a higher margin requirement and to contact them by phone.

Just go to Tastytrade, and apply. If you want embellish a little but I do not think you should have to, I am pretty sure they will approve you for everything. At that point you can decide if you want to trade there.
Tasty was the next stop for the founders (Sosnoff Sheridan) of Tos, who have now moved on. They were big believers in Selling Options and approved everyone who could fill out an application.
Tasty does have higher BP than Schwab for most equities which is a negative, but are better on future options. Creating and changing multi-leg trades is much easier. Actually are you clear on what Option Buying Power is?? It is not margin. I would put up the old Tasty vids on it, but Tasty (sold to IG) has taken down all the vids.

OK - newbie here (actually my first foray into DFV), blast me to shreds if you must. each of these stocks has a BP score in the 'meh' or worse range (assuming you want high scores). The RV value i assume shows that these stocks are not valued well. So - if my assumptions are correct about scoring - how are these among the best stocks for returns over the last 10 years if their scores are dogshit?

You can make it all back OP. Don't quit with $900 BP

My method is keeping the bulk in ETFs (such as the Vanguard all world high yield, S&P 500 etc) and having individual stocks in companies that people are always going to need even when the economy is rough.
If there is a recession people as less likely to buy luxury goods, but people will always need food, energy, gas, water utilities etc so I tend to go with supermarkets, BP, National Grid as an example. I mainly have these to get the monthly dividends so I can reinvest them for more shares whilst the ETFs do the heavy lifting for the 20-30 years until I retire.
Gold and silver stocks can work out well for long term but it can be tricky to predict. I don't invest in them myself at the moment but I do keep an eye out, I work for a company that deals with gold, silver, platinum etc and that provides weekly updates to price trends so it's interesting to watch
