{quote} Yd after EUREX close 22CET I had overnight : 4 FDXM 14361 + 12FDXS 14492. DAX FUTURES settlement price was yd at 14538, so my trading account this morning had a surplus of 885 € x 4 FDXM and 45€ x 12 FDXS, so the difference between entry price and the daily settlement price. I hope I have been clear, otherwise let me know. {image}
Thanks.
I think it's clear.
It looks like your bank calculates your account value (or margin) once a day using the settlement price and not the mark-to-market price in realtime.
Correct?

Yes, it is. and it has always been this way since I started trade EUREX futures on FESX (Estoox50 futures) a couple decades ago.

This is a feature specific to futures trading. Your margin requirements for intraday positions are waaaaay lower than for positions you hold overnight. While the concrete numbers depend on your broker the intraday requirements correspond to a leverage of about 1:20 to 1:200 (depending on your broker). However once you decide to go overnight with a position the exchange requirements kick in, and those requirements typically correspond to a leverage of less than 1:10 (depending on the traded instrument). So overnight you need at least the triple amount of money in your account to cover those positions without risking a margin-call. And the overnight calculation uses the settlement price.

What Brixen's remark really tells you is the roughly estimated used leverage of his account last night. It was below 1:10 with something of about 50 units of open positions (1 FXDM unit = 5 FXDS units, quickly running through the positions from my head). So you can see that he had enough room to breath and was not overleveraged at all, which in return tells you something about his estimated account size.

@Brixen, I hope I got this correct :-)

1 DAX CFD 300
7 DAX CFD 290
3 FDXS 338

Some closing orders slight below and sligh above 400 zonew, but prices have a strong resistance 360/390 zone for now and probably only with US help they could break up thath level, but not for now.

see you later. after midday.

Thank you for asking. Doing great and spent the winter in Eastern Europe at the Black Sea in Bulgaria. Still here. Corona-wise we have almost infinite freedoms here and spring becomes more beauitful every day. Everything is in blooms.

Yes, recently I started trading the DAX again and now I'm doing what another member here in your thread (forgot his name) recommended: trade only the first hour and be done with your day early. Less is more. DAX with it's 09 CET open is perfect for this approach. Today/next days I'm most curious about your statement "cash index gaps need to be closed".

Good trading to you :-)

Ok, makes sense. Thank you for expanding. I never consider the intraday margin as something to use at all to avoid having to close forcefully a position in loss.

Both S&P and DAX closed the last hour with inside bars (only for readers remembering my older still valid approach). So indecision at the moment and target projections of H=14450/L=overnight-low (FDAX) once the breakout occures.

Yep. :-) I wait for a meaningful impulse to the upside which I expect coming from Chicago.

Anyway it's clear they want stop any rebound, as every rise has been heavily sold since yd 15:30CET.

So unless a decent and solid US Indices recover later today, all long positions have to wait at least next week to see a decent reward, imho.
So probably it's a question of time and not price ...for now.

So'I'm hoping the best but expecting the worst in short term scenario, specially after 300 zone breakdown, confirmed by 250 zone resistance....at least for now.

This doesn't look as though it is going to bounce this week. Nasty price action. Would you say 14000 on down scenario?
