If you are not on a retail trading platform, and you actively trade options on futures, what do you do to estimate/calculate your margin while trading?

Option/Futures SPAN margin calculations
- Thread starter Robert Morse
- Start date
Most retail platforms provide the margin for the trade on entry. Not sure if that is what you are asking or if you are asking about managing the margin while in the trade.

I'm asking what you do to follow your SPAN margin requirements during the day, on a futures platfrom that does not do the calculations, which is most. I found a solution I'm doing a demo for in 10 min, that does this live for Wedbush clients. I think it is very rare to do this for a small fee.

Just finished the demo. Offer real time option and futures span margin for Wedbush accounts for only $100/month. Send me an email if you want more information. For active options/futures traders that clear through us.

Correct, but we don't offer retail futures platforms and either do most FCMs and introducing brokers. And, unlike futures margin, option margin changes....as we both know.

I tried that, not live and hard to use.

Cdcaveman,
Good to hear you use us. When it comes to future, the math is simple. Options on futures are the challenge. Do you use RealTick? Most of our futures clients do.
