    IB - Russell 2K futures intra day margin

    To the best of my knowledge the Russell will be traded exclusively n the CME as RTY. I believe the ICE their contract will end soon. We can provide low margins for intraday and can provide an API of C#, C++ and FIX if necessary.

    The issue is not "one" broker, instead, have multiple connections. We can place customers on various connections. For example, you can have two accounts via the same FCM for the same platform.

This creates a challenge in terms of execution and risk management. Second, they have a psychological pressure of...

The CME has very strict rules about supervision of automated scripts, and one of them is that you need to supervise your algo while it's running-just as an...
