With the recent volatility the CME have raised some of the overnight margins for stock index futures.
Most of our clients enjoy $500 daytrading margins for the contracts below, depending on the platform and in rare cases market conditions. Few of the trading platforms will use % of overnight margins and/or if you plan on holding positions more than intraday than note below:
ES was $5,555 –> now $6,105
NQ, $5,720 –> $6,380
YM, $4,620 –> $5,280
RTY, $3,245 –> $3,630
NKD, $4,565 –> $5,280
BE CAREFUL!! THESE ARE NOT “REGULAR OR NORMAL TIMES”
Plan your trade, trade your plan and ALWAYS try to asses the risk/ reward ratio you are about to trade.
