    It is news to me, as of yesterday, that for accounts with over 5 million dollars in capital the margin given to an account is 10-1.

    If that is the case, it changes the entire hybrid prop model.

    I am in the process of investigating it now. I will get back to you on that.

  4. I think it is 6x margin, not 10x.

    Ok, I only heard it in conversation yesterday. However, I just spoke to my partner and he confirmed 10-1. He is not certain where to find the documentation.
