    What might the wording "Initial Short Call" below mean in the first first part of the if-clause?
    Should it be rather "Initial Margin Short Call"?

    Oh thx.
    I just wonder why these firms can't be exact in such very important things...

    Here's a programmer's interpretation:
    Margin = IMSP > IMSC ? IMSP + PSC : IMSC + PSP;

    :)
