Great call! I must admit that I doubted your "hold longs at all costs" approach, but I has paid off for you man.

It's May and both the Cubs and White Sox are above 500. Incredible!

Esignal I'm just checking out what else is out there in the same class. :)

Which datafeed is the fastest, most reliable used with Medved Quote Tracker?

what percentage of your clients trade ES using the $500 margin?

[/b] Pretty close to one to one in dollar value ... especially in an emergency.

Brokers that only require $500 margin are sweating right now.
