Contract Specification List

[tommog]

Hey,

Does anyone know of a website that compiles most of the major futures contracts in a list and highlight the tick value/margin etc and other useful bits of info all in one place instead of having to jump to various exchanges websites, and even then the info usually isnt laid out very clearly.

I am going to compile a list but then thought surely someone has done this already,

can anyone help?

cheers

Check the major futures brokers. They usually have that kind of stuff.

Better than I can explain it:

"What Does Maintenance Margin Mean?
The minimum amount of equity that must be maintained in a margin account. In the context of the NYSE and NASD, after an investor has bought securities on margin, the minimum required level of margin is 25% of the total market value of the securities in the margin account. Keep in mind that this level is a minimum, and many brokerages have higher maintenance requirements of 30-40%."
