{quote} $4k? lol wth 99% of futures brokers only do $500/contract intraday margins maybe you're looking at maintenance margin? i trade with AMP
What is your maintenance margin? That comes into play as well to put a trade on.

LOL... I just might do that.... I am definitely going to have to do some shopping though. IB is a very good broker though.
I have been trading via master/client advisor linked account setup with IBKR for over 18+ yrs now (mostly stocks, forex and little bit of futures several times before getting sucked into spot). They are legit and cater only to professionals as you may know. Their TWS platform sucks and customer service will make you feel like shit if you ask any stupid questions. I hate those ass'oles and have hung up on them too many times... especially when their support moves to Hong kong in the evening hours. I seriously considered them with Sierra for Futures also but they require TWS running and I have had my share of nightmares with their APIs so chose Amp (after getting pestered by Hilmy so he can get his thin commissions he he)

All kidding aside, Hilmy is right... get rid of IB as high-priced brokers including TOS (which is worse in margins also) and offer no real benefit especially when we have our own choice of data feed or platform. I am currently waiting to liquidate all my stock holdings before year end and move 100% to futures, including one of my smaller roth IRA accounts to generate some tax-free income for retirement :-)
I am NOT recommending AMP as their compliance office is a !@#$#$%$^^&^%& right from the moment I submitted my new account app. I might move to some one else and I am not accepting any recommendations lol

Why do you care about maintenance margin if you are only going to trade 10 tick range bars ? Only Day margin of $500 /contract matters if you exit positions before close of market. I don't have the margin link handy but you can start from here... https://portal.ampclearing.com/account/commissionquote.aspx

{quote} the irony is that you delete your damn posts lol.
I mainly delete out of respect to thread owner to avoid clutter with most of my off-topic posts. I most definitely delete when I have shared anything personal to avoid a permanent footprint. I am sure those who have read my research work still have it saved...and those I chose to leave behind are listed on my profile shoutout. I will delete those as well to bring final closure to my spot fx journey. I am already resisting the temptation to try out currency futures :-(
Staying in my lane...

I took a look at AMP and well frankly I was not impressed. The whole site just looked a little dodgy to me.
I really don't have a problem with IB's margin requirements and I have had no problem ever with their customer service.
My trades are executed promptly with little to no slippage.
I will probably just stay with them as I have been with them for over 5 years now.

i literally was calling the market's bluff..i'm not kidding you. you know how you get stuck in a big pot in poker, and the bluffer goes all in..that's how i felt..i called the bluff

you can call it panic spoofing..but it was right there in front of me

I think I know why... will wait for your video as I was not watching the volumes in DOM (just trading the moves via DOM attached to chart). I have seen the algo moves several times during lunch hour and right after.

{quote} for some reason my stats dont show commission like it does on the actual chart pnl. FOr the sake for simplicity, just going to keep it at gross pnl based on trades tab asian=1425 US=4725 total=$6150 {image} {image} video of US session. going forward, i think i'm going to record asian session since that usually takes 4-5 hours (for the sake of cutting down the wait times). and stream the US session that usually takes about 2 hours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22dA7c_dj84
asian=1110
US=370

alright trading weeks starts..i feel like a meth head that's about to get a hit. i'm calling a $10k week. Others predict price action, but i straight up predict how much i'm gonna make this week! that's how a gangsta does it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYpNxfkGkHY
broke the $10k profit prediction

now at this point, i could easily take profit..but i'm gonna follow the strategy, it's a process at this point. follow the rules and take what the market gives you. my tp is at 6851.25

but the greed side of me thinks, this could be a bull move till end of session, you should let it ride..then i can say i finally took a move till end of session, which kind of been my bucket list trading NQ..

sighhh....

not seeing anything unusual on the DOM on teh sell side, which tells me the move is not as strong for me to let it ride. there are pockets of high limits but not like +100 like i saw yesterday...

so tp still intact
