I am generally less than 1 to 1 as it relates to ES. Using SPAN Margin when I have short/naked calls on allows me to have more than 1 to1 on my outright positions and less than 1 to 1 on the SPAN.
Thanks for the information. Skilled traders can do it, so long as they stick to the money management parameters. If a trader doesn't know what those money management parameters are, they are walking on a cloud. It's true. The only traders who get burned using this method are the ones who ignore the rules.

No. but I can have stops in if I want. Also, I pay less than 7 dollars per round turn to trade 65000 contract. The ES options are very easy to get in and out of.
