TradierMargins
Margins
Initial, Overnight, and Day Trading Margins for CME, CBOT, NYMEX, EUREX and ICE Futures Contracts.
Margins Explanation: (Initial vs. Daytrade)
Initial Margin is set by the exchange. This is the amount required to carry a contract past the daily close.
DayTrade Margin is set by Tradier Futures. This is the amount required to enter into a position per contract on an intraday basis.
These margins are in effect anytime the market is open, except the last 5 minutes of each trading session. Tradier Futures request that you either flatten open positions or meet the exchange required initial margin during this time period.
