Tuesday you long CL at same price where you close all CL today. How does 20K make 15K profit with same entry price and closing price and only margin to hold 3 car overnight and drops 3 pt from long position?
This position is today's position, not carried from Tuesday. I rarely carry large position overnight. I rode CL from morning to about 2:15, and did not catch the last peak. Many brokers offer intra-day margins if you dare. Just need to use good money management.
Not possible with IB, just for what it's worth. CL moved two points in the day session. Initial req on CL is ~$4,800 IIRC and IB's margins on comms are inviolate. And that's not a PNL figure, it's the cash value (hence the term total cash). I really don't care, but is this a sim-account?
This is really funny. Why do I bother to show a sim-account? And this is impossible? Here is the daily PnL of one of the sub accounts:
I don't get your angle. sellindexvol66 and the others simply post realized PNL from "TWS account" when referring to daily gains. You show us sub-accounts and "total cash" which requires the reader to solve for PNL. That's fine, as I can do the subtraction, but total cash (in isolation) is meaningless. You could've started with $100k for all we know. Again, what good is the "$34,499" figure? How did you do today?
isn't funny how strange some people are? i just shake my head on redsun....where do u begin with wackjobs like this?
