Future Spread Trading

[Junkou]

when you say you don't use leverage I am assuming you are putting up full overnight margin for each leg? is that correct? because the product itself comes with inbuilt leverage
So how much your broker requires in the case of 2 MNQ/ 3MYM and then the drawdown loss is the $ of that margin or % of the full notional that is $35000 each leg x2 = %70000
(not asking for your trading secret of when to go long and when to go short but just trying to clarify the entire risk reward capital scenario)

If I'm long 2 MNQ and short 3 MYM, I have at least about $20K in the account.

My models are already very profitable, so I don't need to use high leverage. (no more than 3 at maximum). Make sense?

The drawdown is always based on the exposure of the long side, not net or long+short.

I can't believe the last time I visited this site was over one year ago! Time flies very fast. As I have assigned the bots to completely do the trading things (future spread trading, NQ day trading, and future pairs day trading), I can write some posts again from time to time.

14 months ago you said it was the end of this thread. Apparently not.
