Assuming NT templates are correct, you can check the RTH of each instrument these are normally the time spans of intraday margins. You might also double check with your broker, and compare the all with the official electronic platforms:
The time span is fixed by your broker. The broker will probably require you to put down an overnight margin before the start of the night session. This could be 15 or 30 min prior to the end of the RTH session or whatever your broker thinks is appropriate.
Thanks,
But this is not what I asked.
If I'm not mistaken in Globex if I'm out of the market btw. 15:15-15:30 I won't need overnight margins.
Is this correct and what are the times for Eurex (FDAX)?
My answer was according to my experience (IB and VF) that is why I mentioned to check with the broker, never was requested to have an overnight margin 15 or 30 min prior to the RTH end.
What is written by the broker is a general rule, quite often brokers get their customers categorized as low/high risk traders, your profile and therefore conditions might change according to your results and trading styles. Conditions are determined case by case.
