For the maint margin, you r absolutely correct. I should have written in the first note that I have no intentions to hold any trades overnight till my account is at least $10000, AMP clearing is my broker. Their margin requirement looked very good to me.
Oh OK...in my experience I couldn't trade CL until my account bal was the Maint Margin+Day Trade Margin. So I started with YM and built my account up and then switched to Crude later.
Just to be clear, when you lose all the money what will you do? Put more in?
You are gambling, not trading. You are using ridiculous margins, highly leveraged products, on a tiny micro account. It's going to end badly, just donate the money to charity or go have a party in vegas.
$2000 will get you about 1 minute worth of "school" with the as mentioned instruments.. For futures, $50k is a good starting tuition after thorough live studying at the school of ETFs, stocks, futures.io (formerly BMT),and Adam Grimes IMHO.
