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.

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. PS in windows7 the program closes unexpectedly

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...

Me neither ...... wouldnt short right now either .Its an interesting case study. I cant see what facebook can do to dazzle the world and justify its capitalization . If it only focuses on facebook the social network i dont see a blooming future . Users at some point will follow the-whichever-...

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...

I heard 8 from a broker . He said that because of the lunch break volumes are low and the market can go violently either way in this (:?:) . Didn't believe it didnt test either . I do 10 a lot but if you combine it with 9 you just play it safe . If you are not carefull with your stop...
