ZH are a bunch of retards, they are not going full margin, that would be insane. They are removing their REDUCED margins, so regular margin rates apply. ZH tries to make it sounds like margin requirements are going to 100% which is not the case
Not really 100% is zero margin, not full. Some forex traders, as insane as it sounds, use the term full margin as meaning using 100% of their account 100 times over or whatever ratio their broker allows. For instance $1000 to trade $1,000,000
Yep, all that chaos did ensue...NOT. As if futures traders have not been stuck with this temporary thorn in their side before. They survived a year ago, they will survive again. ZH blew their sensationalist load on that headline. SOME of their articles are so good and well thought out. But many others seem like some kid bored with nothing to do. Very annoying.
