Say you got 30 k, Say you can trade too, you won't be making money with IB

I'll let you have it

you win



there there little baby, all you have is your ET name

there there

 

He sounds like a gambler to me. I hope he continuous trading because we need the noise he generates.

 

Wish you good luck in your trading! Seriously.

And there is a plenty of brokers who offer $500 or similar daytrading margin for futures, so I am sure that's not a problem for you to find and use one.

 

it now usually takes less than 10 posts to recognize ET's resident troll. Get out of your sister's basement, o clueless one...

 

why you actin like u some damn smart gump, dis shit here, right here is obvious. even dem east side fools be knowing how to do simple math

 

apparently its not obvious to many on ET, why would they respond in this thread like that

if indeed it was obvious

I doubt its truly obvious to you either

 

Doubt all yo want n*gga, all I'm sayin is yo be pointing out the obvious and pretendin like you some genius. Dont take no west side hoppa even to figur out dis shit

 

fo shizzle dizzle

 

Slow and steady wins in this business. I hit singles, with a home run every now and then.

Slow and steady, it what pays.

 

Probably I was wrong and author uses stops as tight as 1-2 ticks ES. Then indeed IB margin req. can be too high to achieve risk of say 2% per trade.

But for trading with a stop of say 1 ES handle or equivalent in other markets, 2800 ES daytrading margin seems fine to me and allows for a profit of well more than 100% in 8 months.
