Anyone trading ES/NQ on a small account will blow up almost guaranteed. We all know this sub ain’t using micros

The margin requirement to trade 1 ES contract is about $15,000 with daily mark to market basis calculations.

So you trade the Emini or Micro contracts

The E-mini contracts (/ES) requires a $14,575.00 maintenance requirement per contract.

The Micro E-mini Contracts (/MES) requires a $1,457.50 maintenance requirement per contract.

Trading 1 MES contract is pointless as it's 1/10 of an E-mini /ES contract. A 100 point move in the ES would only make you $500 as the qty. x Tick for the /MES is only $1.25.

The point is that somebody who cannot afford to fund a $25,000 account to avoid daytrading rules cannot afford to fund a marked to market daily $15,000 futures account.

If you would read my comment you would understand that trading the micros is absolutely pointless because the per tick move is $1.25. It’s not worth the trading fees to make next to nothing on price movement.

This is a gambling sub Reddit. No one here is going to trade 1 MES contract to make only $500 on a 100 point move in the ES. You’re fucking regarded.

Edit: Good, your dumb ass got banned.
