What is a good site for: Future quotes. Future option quotes. Future option chains. Maintenance margin requirements. Initial margin requirements.
Thanks, I will study that site. I know the basics, but am studing a little more. Long future contract and long future put = Limited loss. Short future contract and long future call = Limited loss. Long future put or call = Limited loss. Short future put or call = Unlimited loss. Long or short future contract = Unlimited loss. I have a long December 107/108 CAD future option strangle open in my Interactive Brokers demo account and it's down only $70.00 after 24 hours. This is my first demo trade and the type of trades I'm interested in.

Up $264.00 with the strangle. But I can't close any trades with this demo, I get the following message: "ERROR REPORT: No Trading Permission, Account Requirements". Also one of my trailing stops wasn't activated in a long CAD future contract in the same demo account.
