I was turned down for an order desk job today and my heart is broken. I'm trying to find a place to day trade e-mini's with the lowest initial margin requirement.
odds are that either the firm that was hiring would not have let you trade e minis while working or doing both would have been hazardous to both trader P+L and on the job perf. without errors by the way ... are you looking to "get rich quick" trading max size with least margin in ES ? yikes
I've got a backtested strategy though. Looks like(I've been surfing) the minimum is going to be 25k! Found a lot of new places to send my resume though.
I wish you the best. Sorry about your downfall...but another door will open. It just was not destiny yet...It took a lot of courage to post and I think you will be alright. Michael B.
