OK, I'm not sure I know when Maintenance Margin is in force, e.g. if I buy 1 /ES contract at 8pm EST and sell it 10 minutes after (during Globex hours) will it require to have $11,000 or $400??

Every broker is different, so know that. At AMP MM is in force 10 minutes before markets close at 5pm EST. When the markets open back up at 6pmEST day trading margins are in force until the next day at 5pm EST. NOTE: The new CME routing that SC is working I believe will have all the fields populated. |

All products are different and different across brokers. I have a spreadsheet that I setup to download from various brokers --> example the one from AMP at https://www.ampfutures.com/trading-info/margins/ then I just enter in the qty and it's calculated automatically.

I am aware of this, I was asking about the markets close. Is it 5pm EST for all products?
