Margin question


#1

Hi DM,

When you have an ATM in place for futures is your margin x3 or is is it just the day margin? Thanks for all you do!

You mean when you have a pending limit entry - with an OCO?

It would only be margin for 1 contract as the other two won’t fire off (the take profit and stop loss until the entry has been filled and since they would both exit the trade and if done the other would be instantly cancelled you only have margin x 1.
