Earn 2 Trade the gauntlet

Yep! You got it.

 

Fair enough..

 

Currently, $6,380 is the initial margin for the ES. I only worry about holding overnight if I put a daytrade on late in the day, so it will always be the initial margin for me as there will never be a 2nd overnight hold in the same trade.

So I calculate with 3 contracts and I only need to trade once a week...wow? I have two systems that fit this bill. Am I allowed to scalp in my personal account while I trade with you?

ES

 

We go by the maintenance margin not initial margin, so $5800 for ES. Yes we do not restrict what other accounts you trade.

 

I suppose I should trade full speed in the Gauntlet to garner the best deal. Is it possible to get 20% and 25K? or even 10% and 50K in a funded account right from the beginning?

 

Helios doesn’t offer over 25k initially but after that you can get much much higher if you’re doing well.

 

Yeah but you allow 25% DD which is $6,250.00. Shouldn't a trader gauge for 3 contracts?

ES

 

It’s really up to the trader. I personally would never trade more than 1 contract with 25k.

 

So everybody gets 10K?
Do they allow 20% initially?

ES

 

Well yes but my stops are in place.
