AMP raises overnights to 100% of SPAN.

ES options.

 

I was contemplating if that will have an effect on the E-minis. Do you think it will?

 

Yeah, probably 60-100 ES pts, but you gotta be ready when the news hits. It's not something you can structure now as 100 is a rounding error in this mkt.

 

Ok i trade with IB and there very strict with margin which is irrelevant to me . Wow thats very dangerous for Amp. They could be wiped out overnight with a ton of positions

 

Thnx!

 

Gain hasn't sent me any notice of increased margin on spreads yet. Waiting for that shoe to drop.

 

Still not enough - they’ll raise it again on the survivors.

 

Yeah, I hope so. Dangerous to be over leveraged right now.

 

Amp just raised to 100% of exchange margin for the day session.

 

Most brokers/ FCM increased DT margins to 100% or more due to the crazy volatility.
We still have one platform/ set up we offer for futures where one can use the lower daytrading margins.
