x-pit trader. For someone who actively trades the e-mini electronically what are good inter day Margins for eminis? I have seen various firms with $5,000.00 required to open an account. Are there minimum funds required to trade or simply the day trade margin?
============== Interactive Brokers has a day maintance margin of about; $1600 for ES YM, its less NQ its less. [8;30 -3;00 Chicago time] Think Velocity Futures has maintance margins of about $500???? Have to call them for up to date acc minimum; IB =excellant broker for experienced traders . However if you hit the sell [or buy] trigger twice; it does twice as much . Wisdom is profitable to direct. Good thing I was trading with trend when I accidently doubled up , first time i used IB.
