GZ,

My question was on margin allocation. If you were to trade one S&P 500 futures contract with a margin of $25K, how much would you open the account with to avoid margin calls $50K? Is a 2/1 ratio an adequate margin hedge? I understand that this site is for entertainment purposes and like everyone else here, I appreciate you sharing your unique expertise in this forum.
