No, I didn't say someone needed $1100 to trade micros, I simply said it was better (safer) than $100. Heck, the only thing you "need" is whatever the broker requires, which happens to be $50 at Ninjatrader I believe. That's nuts.
I saw that too, not sure if it was AMP or someone else. But $25 isn't enough margin for one micro. I think AMP advertised $50 margin for the micros.
We are currently nonlinear, within an uptrend. Trading from 2872 to 2895 will take us back into linear territory to 2920 and up. With the contingency of 2872 possibly acting as a resistance, or even 2920 acting as a resistance when reached, we can also have a possible trade down to 2820, while still maintaining the uptrend. Forward thinking, back to 2960.00.
