i just want to know how the margin requirements work when the account is invested in treasuries.

thanks. does this mean that the margin requirements for the futures trading is the same as if you were trading with a $700K account? any additional restrictions?

Say a guy has a $1 million account and he puts it all into treasuries. Now he wants to trade ES futures. What is the maximum number of contracts that he can buy?

what is price spread on the break? btw, do you know what is the ES margin requirement for professionals? i'm talking about the institutional guys.

i think the most important thing with either system is to define the good breakout points.

so stoxx50 retraces less than aex? stoxx50 may not be good for your strategy but it is good for people who buy on the first breakout and later adjust their stop to breakeven.

i don't know what the heck is going on. if 507.2 is a swing point and price penetrated from the top, aren't you looking to go short?

sheesh i do not get your charts and your decision making.

why is it so difficult?

dax. not sure if it matters because i think that they all correlate with each other when their hours overlap. when the ES opens, ES is likely the dominant market and any other market that's trading will likely correlate with ES. that's my theory...better decide for yourself

nope not me. but i'll tell you something i've noticed about the european markets. during the morning u.s. time, there are a few hours of overlap between the u.s. markets and european markets. during this period, the relative change in price seems to tell you something about where the ES is...

do you find that there are divergences between the indices and rates during your entry? (e.g., index retraces to breakout point, but rates are not retracing)

what do you say to those who believe that the last hour of the day tend to have the best trends?

how about telling us more about the relationship between the stock indexes and the bond market and the tendencies before and after the bond market closes? i am also interested in hearing more about the way you do volume analysis.

wat? :confused:

btw what is the time increment on your charts? oops nevermind i see they are 1 minute charts.

you were trying to short today? i need to know more about how you're drawing the lines.

lol it seems to be having an effect. when i think about my precious soldiers i lose the urge to put on a trade. i get the "it ain't worth it" feeling.

when did you draw the 546 blue line and why was it a significant point at the time that you drew it??

i don't think i understand what you're saying, but let me wait for a new chart before asking futher.
