I suspect you'll find an excellent answer to your question overnight with E-Mini
down $23 * 50 = $1150. Throw in commissions and slippage and your $6600 account
would be down nearly 20% on just one contract. That's why those of us who trade
the S&P and like to sleep well don't hold overnight and run don't trade accounts
at 2:1 margin ratio.
