    Thanks CT,I knew I told that jerks to buy at 700$!And as a back up I'd only needed ~60K,correct?
     
  4. well im pretty sure overnight margin has changed for gold since it was trading at 700. However currently ovenight margin is 11475 so that would mean you have to put up 114750 in margin to hold 10 contracts overnight.
     
  5. ya just did a quick search gold margin used to be about 6500 for overnight, hope that helps
