How much would you use to trade one futures contract?

0008 - if you tell us what contract(s) you're interested in trading and they people can give you input on how much equity you should have to trade each.

For ES or TBonds or Corn?

ES. I don't trade Tbond or corn. And there was nothing scientific about how i came up with that number I just felt comfortable with that value.
 
I trade T-Notes (10yr) and sometime T-Bonds and NQ. I used to think NQ was a very risky game. It was true before 2002. But it is becoming much more quite(or smooth) this year. The chart of it looks like a TBonds charts :D

10K for ES is just ok. But it is very excessive for the corn!

What I want to know is how aggressive or conservative the guys in ET play. It seems many of them are playing safe (>3 times IM). This may be the reason why many ET guys can survive in the market. Even bin Laden could not kick you out. :D :D :D :D
