Emini index futures

Recommended Posts

Hey guys..

 

Another post.. couldnt find any posts related to this one in the forum.

 

Im looking to start trading emini index futures through IB.. does anyone know, or having an inkling, what my minimum liquid asset value has to be before i can do so? IB has asked that i provide a financial statement detailing my liquid asset worth before i can be approved for futures trading. Thanks again.

thnks for the reply

 

yea, their account minimum is 5k..

 

however, there is another question when filling out their app asking your total liquid networth, which i assume is completely different. They have asked me to provide bank statements/ other brokerage accounts before i can be approved for futures. Needless to say, my liquid net worth isnt exactly what i put it down as- i dont know whether lowering the amount will result in me being denied futures trading access

erich - Interesting, I haven't heard of a firm requesting info unless there was a serious red flag. The 2 questions I have are - 1) what is your age and 2) what did you put as your net worth?

 

My guess is that those 2 don't quite add up to them.

 

You have a choice now of admitting you fibbed and see what they do or time to try a new broker. I suggest Open ECry.

Note that OpenECry will run a credit check on you, as a matter of course. At least that's what my Equifax report showed.

 

Just an FYI...

There's the problem - they want evidence that a 22 yr old has that kind of LIQUID net worth. Key word being liquid. Even if you own a home and have some equity in it, that's not what they are looking for. I'm guessing that number was quite a stretch since you are posting here, so I would just try another broker to be honest. Right now your social is red flagged at IB. Just my suggestion.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
