IMO, the FCMs that off that level of margin do so to cater to day traders because they lack the capital to cater to traders with overnight positions. For EOD positions, your FCM needs to match your margin requirement with 8% of their capital. The FCMs with well under $25mm, most with less than...

What asset class is this? With our max loss setting for equities and futures, it prevents new opening orders but does not liquidate.

4:30-5 is for TAS (Trading at Settlement ) orders and I do not think ES has that. And, those trades are part of the next day. You can't use a TAS to reduce the EOD margin.

Overnight-I'm not aware of any ES TAS, but if there is, they are next day trades.

ES Futures trade from Sunday at 6pm ET to Monday 4:15 ET. That is Monday's Trading day. The CME expects the margin to be available based on the maintenance level at that time. If you do not have that, they expect you to add money or liquidate to be above the Initial requirement the following...

How do you close after 4:15 pm ET and not be part of the next day? Your positions at 4:15 pm are what the exchange calculates your margin on.

That is an enormous amount of data to load. Just from regular trading hours that is over 97K data points.

I learned the hard way. I started on an OTC NASDAQ trade desk while at NYU as an unpaid intern. Then, after graduation, I spent a short time at a retail broker cold calling. I hated that. Left a good job with a 2-year contract at ML, to land on the AMEX floor as a wire clerk for an options...

How do you decide what equities to trade? How do you decide when to get long or short? How do you decide the size to put on and when? How do you decide when to exit? I'm not expecting a response. These are very simple questions that I would focus on but these are not simple concepts. Write down...

bmoney- have you focused on one asset class yet? Equities, Futures, etc?

Hi bmoney-IMO, you can watch a thousand videos of traders trade and not learn what you need to learn. They will show you good and bad days, but not the process of interpreting their data. Not how to manage risk/reward/fear/greed. And, any of the "big guys", the real players, would never share...

This sounds like this has nothing to do with the OCC TIMS calculation but that your broker/clearing firm put a risk add on to that symbol. They should be able to provide a breakdown. If you email, not a private message, your current portfolio I can run it on the OCC calculator and tell you what...

It is my understanding that Reg NMS only protects visible orders so odd lots have no standing. It is possible that some ECNs bulk odd lots and then show them if they reach 100 shares. There is no time order priority between ECNs.
