168,

FFastTrade day margins are half of the overnight minumum for all products.

Therefore the es day margin is 1782.

Does anybody have experience with an API at either FfastTrade or VelocityFutures? Information seems to be completely hidden or nonexistent. How does the API compare with IB?

A member sent me a PM asking about API.
If you are not familiar with an API, look at the IB website. IB has a very extensive online description and manual. In short, it enables a user to interact via programming with, in this case IB, to place orders and get all kind of status feedback.
