About Our Day Trading Margins

In partnership with our clearing houses, Cannon Trading Co. can offer some of the most aggressive day trading margins available.  Typical accounts work with day trading margins of $400 – $500 per contract.  By looking at such measurable variables as account size, trade volume and your past trading experience and combining those with other factors such as your daily trading activity / behavior (whether or not you use stops; whether or not you hold trades until the last minutes of the session etc.)  as well as the platform you trade with we can customize your day trading margins to even more aggressive levels than below.

* Certain market conditions, your specific account value, and the trading platform you use may place your account at higher day trading margins than $400 per contract.
