What's the symbol for mini-DAX? I can't find it. Tried "FDXM" too. I can't find via TWS any of the products @patrickrooney mentioned. [ATTACH]
For DAX futures, IB quotes an initial margin of about 18,000 USD. However, when I tried to buy DAX today, the margin was double that, for a...
Yes, the Android app is shitty. It's not a real, native Android app. They use WebViews, which are slow. The back button doesn't work etc. I don't...
