Metoox, I actually know only one Broker (ApexFuture), who offer a 1K daytrading margin for the e-minis.
No, there is a number of others, some of them are individually negotiated based on the type of trading you are doing; I think even IB offers that, better check on that though we don't trade there anymore, but I remember hearing or reading that.

I use a local broker and can trade the e-minis for under 1000. There are a few more where you can trade for 1100-1200. So there are a few.
I even actually trade the large contract 19,000, 2 contracts when my account was under 3000. Mistake the broker and I didn't catch. Too bad it was only a 2 point trade! So it really depends on broker relationship. Unless you use one of the big internet places.
