ye hehe, sometimes you would just love or hate those newbies

I can see the consistent traders laughing to the bank

Hey Orbital, I hope trading is going good,

I see you are playing in the major leagues now (big futures instruments I mean).

Just one quick question? How are you managing the increase on initial margin or you are just trading one or two contracts on Dax and Crude at different times? with almost 5000 euros a contract on dax (and CL jumped to $4200 a couple of weeks ago) they kill many options (risk-capital wise) for intraday positions for small accounts (at least if you have less than 100k on trading capital with your broker).

In any case, nice trades on the Dax and Crude today and let see how oil reacts on the latest break down.

Hey Sisse,

Yes trading is running good, most of the senior members in here have already switched mostly to commodities, primary instruments have become crude, oil, gold and eu scalps here and there.

Regarding the Margin, i think michael has phrased it perfectly today: "I don't realy give a shit about margin calcualtions etc, i know what i stand to gain and what i stand to loose on a trade, the rest doesn't matter"

Margin requirement for crude is at around 6400$ right now if im not mistaken. Anyways i don't see the impact since positions usually dont go against me for much, in the case of DAX this may be true since dax can be a whore, but SP500 is usually ridiculously stable.

I don't have a lot of simultaneous positions open at the same time and i tend to open my swings with much smaller positions than the scalps.

Hope that answers your questions.

I see. I was referring to the initial margin requirement for exchange supported orders because I only use bracket orders with limits in those wild contracts but init marg applies even for standing lmt stop and lmt orders, so just opening a couple of contracts in 2 or 3 instruments can eat your account and mount to 30 or 50k just to open the trade but I guess your broker is managing your orders as OCO orders in the broker side and not in the exchange side...

Sure ES is always cheap and stable and now with the Vix flirting with more decent volatile levels, it will become a much better instrument. (although I still prefer Fesx TA wise)

In any case, good luck and keep up the good work.

Not liking Eurostoxx(FESX) alltomuch to be honest might give it another go, and yes broker is most likely managing the orders as OCO. Opening a couple of contracts usually can eat up your account very fast but that all really depends on what margins the broker is asking from you.

I havent been paying attention to the VIX to be honest since its irrelevant to my trading and to be frankly there isnt a lot of information i can gather from it, might give it a look though.

When will i see you back on skype again? You havent been online in ages
