lol that's funny stuff. I have a client who makes ice cream and hedges through me with butter and sugar once in awhile. true story. all puns aside butter is a thin market. tough to trade. you get into am option and are pretty much down 5%-10% ...

that is true what you say about different FCMs using different margins regardless of what CME says.....and you are also correct about IB being conservative. I have a client who has a separate account there besides what he has with me, and he showed ...

I feel your pain.....I was up a ton on crude calls before this weeks gnarly action.....those ones hurt....when you watch the proverbial "bird in hand" turn into a grenade right in front of you.
