    Hi to all! I want to learn how to manage a future instrument open position (eg. ES e-mini s&p500) in a portfolio basis. I mean how if my starting capital is eg. 100.000 usd, and open 1 contract of ES, and hold it like 10 days, how every day looks like my portfolio value. I need all the details like, initial margin for the 1st day, net liquidation value, margin maintenance, buying power, future pnl , cash balance, etc… I would greatly appreciate if someone has already these data in a spreadsheet format. Thanks a lot.

    No, I am with PRT with Interactive Brokers. And I know these margin tables for futures from IB website.

    But, don’t want just the margin req, I want how margin change as my position’s PnL change everyday etc…
