I like range bar charts for charts under 10 minutes time frame. On ES I use 10 ticks range bar. Crude I use 19 ticks. NQ 23 ticks. Try and see if the range bar charts filter the noise and help. For some it really helps, for others not so much,,,depends on the underlying strategy. You can see...

in the options/futures field, I lean towards "using the markets money to finance trades", examples are ratio spreads, backspreads and vertical call spreads, vertical put spreads. Depending on the volatility I will look to utilize one of these 3 strategies.

Like @Robert Morse said, some of us are talking about futures margins and day trading margins and some are talking about equities lending/borrowing. Cannon does not offer equities, only futures, options on futures and forex. been doing so since 1988. Day trading margins for day trading the ES...

wow....not very liquid and in the past I have seen the CME bust similar trades here in the US but not sure how it works over in China.

From my colleague, Joe Easton who follows stock index futures very closely daily: When trading ES you need to consider points, more than account size and certainly more than percentages. Due to the high leverage using percentages equates to irrelevant information. For example; risking 2.5% of...

On the futures side we DO MUCH Better....

The closing price will sometimes vary based on the platform and vendor when it comes to the Index futures like ES. The official CME equity settlement is based on the 4:15 PM close. As far as margins are concerned, we like to see our clients fully margined by 4:55 PM EST or 5 minutes before the...

There are quite a bit margin breaks as well as ability to execute these as spreads. The breaks are normally for overnight trading as the day trading margins are already much lower ( example $500 for DT an ES futures) I am happy to go over specific examples / questions you have and run the margin...

the price goes the right way part of the equation is good...however what happens if price does not hit the target to sell the call and goes against you to begin with?
