    Broker with 50% day-trading margin outside regular hours

    Doubt there are any brokers with 50% exchange margins for the "whole day". You still have to meet exchange maintenance margins to hold at the close.

    Multiple video cards?

    Your daisy-chained monitors may have some limitations, but the video card was designed to run all ports at 3840x2160. The refresh rate could be an issue for gaming but not for trading. (Video requirement for trading are low.)

    How much capital per ES w this strat

    Bottom Line... whatever play you make, it should always be "risk limited".

    How much capital per ES w this strat

    Forget the notion of "account size" (unless your account is 100% of your capital). You should always limit your risk to a small percentage of your CAPITAL on any one trade. (The size of your trading account is irrelevant.. unless it's a large percentage of your capital account.) Suggest you...

    Multiple video cards?

    No worries. The VRAM usage for 4x, UHD monitors in a trading rig in W10 is generally ~ 1.2GB... so video cards with 2GB VRAM are adequate.... and you'll have 2 of them. If you're running HD resolution, the VRAM usage is only ~350MB. (Video requirements for a trading rig are low.)

    You guys chasing LK too? Its going nuts so I wonder what's up?

    Not really a "possibly lose your ass" bet. It's more of a "controlled risk" bet. If it goes up big, you're in on it. If it goes to dust, you're only out $.31. That's the kind of risk all of us should be looking for and taking when we find it. And you don't have to bet the ranch on something...

    CNN: White Children "Don't Deserve Innocence"

    How dare ANY ASSHOLE DARE to say some child "deserves" anything bad. :(

    You guys chasing LK too? Its going nuts so I wonder what's up?

    LK can be a trading lesson. At $1.50 one could have bought it like an option, but with no expiration date. IOW... if LK ever gets resolved favorably, you'd be in on the recovery. If not and it goes to zero, no diff than a call option that expired worthless on you. At $4, same... just more to...

    CNN: White Children "Don't Deserve Innocence"

    CNN gave airtime to an ‘anti-racist activist’ who suggested that white children should not be allowed to have an ‘innocent’ childhood, but rather be made to feel guilty about their ‘white privilege’ at an early age. Whoa! Now there's a crock of shit for you...

    Trump faces a much tougher road to reelection than most seem to think.

    1. How is Trump to "unite the nation" when the DemoCrap side won't hear of it? They WANT DIVISION... as much as possible. Not Trump's fault if there is "no overcoming that". 2. Wrong again on Floyd. Should have been handled locally. Not Trump's fault that it escalated into something...

    Trump faces a much tougher road to reelection than most seem to think.

    Your view is partisan, not logical. Our country has a long history of tolerating/allowing criminal riots and looting. Should have "put a stop to it" lonnnnng ago. Wasn't. Not Trump's fault today.

    Trump faces a much tougher road to reelection than most seem to think.

    Shame on you. That's just STUPID! You should know better.

    Trump faces a much tougher road to reelection than most seem to think.

    HOGWASH! 1. As for COVID-19... The WHO and China LIED about the severity, and Trump didn't know that right away. I don't see him at fault here for "not acting fast enough". 2. As for Floyd... it's not the President's venue to "chime in" on everything that happens everywhere. The Floyd...

    Today's Rally

    Correctamundo... for trading. Not necessarily so for "the big picture". IOW... you might trade your way to $1 Billion for yourself, but if the government "confiscates" your wealth through inflation and currency debasement (which is a threat with all of this money printing), it won't matter how...

    Getting around the special margin requirements

    IB is conservative (notoriously?) about margins. You're probably not going to be able to "get around" their margin requirements. If you want more leverage, suggest you look elsewhere.

    Multiple video cards?

    Presuming your mobo has at least 2x PCIE x16 slots... you can use 2x, 4-port Nvidia cards to run up to 8 monitors, no worries... like NVS 510, Quadro P600/P620/P1000/P2000. All are excellent. (Later/newer ones are faster and with more VRAM, of course.) All of which will run UHD resolution...

    Multiple video cards?

    "Sleep" can be an issue with multi-monitor, especially with 2 or more video cards. Suggest NOT combining AMD and Nvidia cards.... they may work together or not. If you have more than one video card, they ideally should both be the same model. In your case, get another RX 480. If you want to...

    Today's Rally

    They should be. Anyone with a sense of financial history understands the consequences of "money printing to the extreme". It's been done dozens (maybe hundreds) of times throughout history.... and has ALWAYS.... not "almost always"... but ALWAYS... ended up in financial ruin for almost...
