Are you mainly interested in Futures?

It's your money, I'm just trying to help. I would choose an LLC if I were to start a trading business today based on my experience.

I don't believe that is true. I have no clients that use a s-corp and almost all of them are LLCs (Some are LPs and individual accounts). If you are a single member LLC, you don't even need a K1, as single member LLCs are considered a disregarded entity and all your income filters down to your...

Are you asking me? If yes, are you asking for what our margin interest rates are?

You should have received a notice from your FCM. Who do you use? Should be on your sheets the next day. I don't know what platform or FCM you use to determine when you will see it.

The cash is your metric. What future contract you use is subjective.

What month? It is not like a stock. http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity-index/us-index/e-mini-sandp500.html
