Margin Etrade
I have about $ 10,000 to invest, should I only trade stocks, to start, or should I try the futures?
In trading futures contracts that I think I will trade the mini corn because it has a small contract size (1000 * $ 5 bushels = 5000), but it is not very liquid. What other liquid contracts can I trade that have a share between $ 5,000 and $ 10,000? In stocks where the broker is not recommending u, eTrade or optionxpress? Will they allow me to trade on margin to be both long and short? Also, when do u get ur information from? eSignal eod package seems to have for $ 295, but I do not know if it is compatiable MetaStock?

But personally, I do not recommend you attempt that. margin requirements for products. You are mistaken about what it takes to trade commodity futures. You must put in place that the initial margin per contract. For example, corn futures – a hot commodity now – requires only $ 1350 margin. Soy beans require about most $ 3,000. You're certainly right when it comes to the future of oil well. The margin requirement is much higher. Approximately $ 7,100. Forex margins are about 2% Here is a link where you can learn from this and Interactive Brokers. http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/marginRequirements/margin.php?ib_entity=llc I need to tell you that I am a holder of shares of Interactive Brokers.
