    how often has Margins been adjusted by the exchanges?
    first time for me.

    also will margins be adjusted back after all this volatility?

  3. Index margins are changed infrequently but in toto margins in energies, grains, Treasuries ect. are adjusted pretty often to reflect changes in volatility.
