Chip, I thought that one could trade 10 contract with between 250,000 and 275,000? and we could take the equity in our account and divide it by 25,000 to determine the number of contracts avail. PS: Just thought this..... are there different margin requirements for day traders....????

You are correct Chip .. OK .. So where am I at? My broker failed to tell me I was over my limit when I placed the first short this morning.<g> My intent was to go from long 12 to short 12 .. gotta ask the Bull I guess ..
