If you bought one contract at 11400 using the minimum


On the CBOT, the value of one DJIA futures contract is computed as $10 times the value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the minimum initial margin is $7,005 and the maintenance margin requirement is $5,604 per contract. If you bought one contract at 11,400 using the minimum initial margin and the price dropped 11,250 on an active trading day, compute the daily percentage profit or loss in your margin account. How much must be deposited in your margin account to prevent liquidation of your position? How much would the DJIA have to fall in a single trading day to wipe you out?
