10% on one trade! thats huge if your trade with a 10% loss on
your entire portfolio then you better not be wrong more than two
times in a row or your BROKE!
One dow futures contract = $100. For each point the market goes
up you make $1. So it went up 45 points=$45(margin was $100). If
you bought 10 contracts it is $450 profit.
