Emini- How many Contracts can you Trade

I thought he was wondering about how many contracts he could do on a market order before slippage became a factor.

 

You can only buy 30 contracts on the ES at any one time per account. They wanted to protect really dumb rich people from blowing up their account to fast!!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

 

I believe the limit is actually 250 contracts per order.

 

Which broker will let you trade more than 30 ES per buy/sell? Please let me know!

 

It's 250.

You can place an all-or-none order for anything over a 30 lot

 

If talking about broker limits then I couldn't tell you but the globex limit is 250. If you glance at T&S on ES you will see 30+ contracts being traded all the time. Perhaps it is just your broker that has a limit.

 

Thanx for the info....I will check into this with my broker.

 

I've traded 160+ with IB. Never heard, seen, this 30 cap.

 

Did IB charge you $768 round turn on those trades or did you get a nice discount?:eek:

Did IB hold you to the $280,000 account intraday margin range on those trades or did they lower your requirement with that volume? :eek:
