yes i'm still available to meet up. send me a pm

I need to edit my statement. The silver mini's traded on the NYSE/LIffe will migrate to ICE Futures this weekend. Looks with the move the margin requirements are dropping 32%! New minimum margin required to get a mini silver contract is $1375.

Your right. If an FCM would let you open account with no minimum deposit then you can do it with $1815. Most FCM's require a 10K account.

seriously... why are there so many incorrect answers... 1- open a futures account 2- deposit their minimum 3- Buy 1 NYSE Liffe Mini Silver contract- Margin requirement $1,815. If there is no minimum to put into futures account then you only need to put $1,815 into margin. There is no...

if you are ever up in Seattle I can help you.

If you are hedging. You do not trade spreads. Example- you have exposure of 25K bushels of soy beans. Then you need to use 5 future contracts on beans. If you do a spread you will add risk to the "cash" position and will not be hedging and you will be speculating.

or instead of beer we could have coffee. I'd like to chat about markets, life, etc

Lets meet up chat about futures and have a beer. Pm me or email andersi@spu.edu

I'm trading paper futures yes. I just graduated college so don't have enough $ to pay for the margins. :eek:

I'm interested in meeting up in Seattle area. I was a heavy day trader in college. I'm now trading futures but still interested in meeting people with similar hobbies/ skills. Lets get a group together and meet up in a coffee shop/ or pub. Anders
