I am confused too . The site says that the minimum margin is 10% but it also says that for uncovered positions the margin is 15-20% .
The position is uncovered so the margin should be 20% .
Maybe if you traded for real they could ask for additional margin .
Options on Exchange Traded Funds
The margin is only 20% (minimum 10%)of the value of the contract
So its 64000$*2*20%=25600$ ---------> Actually minimum margin is 10% so its 12800$
Very risky strategy for real life
I totally believe you should forget the feeling after a loss . But you should not forget what led you to make a bad trade . Its experience .
As Oscar Wilde put it
Experience is merely the name men gave to their mistakes.

What does it mean ?? I have a job and I wanna trade on the side ?? I will open a position at 10:00 am and close it at 12:00??
My question is can you really trade " part time" meaning youre not on your pc viewing the market and your...
I was saying the same thing at another forum . You may get filled to the 5th bid or ask price and if some trader has put a out of the word bid or ask ( bid for 0.10 or an ask of 1000) your order will be still filled . I know that you should NEVER place market orders at opening and that a lot of...
Yes the chart works - intraday chart does not always work . I cant get history for every index (ex FDAX.EX)
Would be good if could see the prices for futures .
A nice idea would be to have the option to SELL the stock.

the lotto analogy doesnt work because if no one buys the ticket there will be no prize .(1000 tickets are sold at 1$ - the winner wins 1000$ - the ticket owner has 1/1000 odds of winnning. if less than 1000 tickets are sold the prize will be lower but the odds better)
In this case the zillion...

Its a combination of the 2 . If you are wrong on the direction you would lose if you buy/sell the underlying , unfortunately if you are correct you might still lose as time value becomes smaller .
Us rookies should stick to BUYING options , selling is risky unless its part of a hedged...

that is why i sometimes hate technical analysis . It can give support resistance etc to a graph of GAP sales . I think that the graph of a weighted basketof stocks is useless. The graph of the future on that index has some value , as by looking on the graph you can explain the behavior of the...
