Margins for e-mini s&p futures.
- Thread starter dylan57
- Start date
Depends on your broker, and whether you're strictly daytrading or are going to hold overnight.
Most have them set at $500/contract for daytrading, and some are higher (for example, Tradestation is at $1000).
It's easy to find the margin requirements at almost all of the futures brokers' websites.

This shows the overnight margin for CME products. Like the last post said, intraday depends on your broker
Depends on the broker. I've seen the YM from $500 per car to $1400

use www.globalfutures.com daytrade margins for the YM, ES, NQ at $300.00 per contract...remember...it is a "double edged sword"...meanings...high leverage for great returns or losses...trade at your own rish..they are the Best!
ThinkorSwim has extremely high margin requirements compared to others I have seen, but I'm no expert:Quote from dylan57:
