Hook N. Sinker,
I am looking for the formula to compute % return on an individual leveraged futures trade.
Example:
Trade:
Buy 1 ESZ06 at 1405.00
Sell 1 ESZ06 at 1410.00
Profit 5pts = $250
Account Equity at purchase: $100,000
initial Margin: $3938
maintenance Margin: $3150...
Bolter,
I use Market Profile to swing trade (time frame would be from 1 to 10 days). Do you think that MD would provide any value to judge how well the market is facilitating trade using 30min MD bars?
Does anyone know of a decent trade simulator? I need a program that will allow you to specify your account size, simulate margin requirements, limit orders, stop orders and trades all the US futures?
