[amibroker] trading futures

["emp62" <emp62@xxxxxxx>]

hi,

am am testing some systems on futures (have experience with stocks only) and I want to check if my settings are set up properly for trading NQ E-mini Nasdaq 100 futures at Interactive Brokers.

For trading 10 contracts I add into my system:

NumContracts = 10; 
PositionSize = NumContracts * MarginDeposit; 

Further: 

tick size = 0.25
Point value = 12.5$ / 0.25 = 50

Margin deposit ??  Do I need to get this number from IB? I find a list here:

http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/marginRequirements/margin_amer..php

what do I use? 1500?

Commision I use 1.65$ per contract.

if somebody could check the setup I would appreciate,

thanks, Ed
