Hey, I wanted to tell you: think about how much fun this would have made your job when you were doing margin and settlement. Today, before the FOMC, ZB had exchange margin of 2500 or so.

On the IB platform, if you have an armed trade, a right click gives you an option of checking margin. And hour later, around 3, I had an armed cover ready to go. Checked the margin: a little over 5000. Within the hour, the margin was changed. They undoubtedly had what-if'ed and were ready for the run.

Cute, huh?

I don't know man, could be. Daily shows a little more down..3320ish but intra day is almost there, so we could get some up move soon.

Wow, intraday margin increase. Pretty sure I never saw that pulled before. Was that increase only by your broker, or did it come from the CBOT?

No joy there. But from pure market dynamics, there's going to have to be a bounce. Within 8 hours, the whole damn world is going to be bearish. Can't hold.

Pretty sure it was the exchange. Lemme look right now and see what it's running-5002.

But either way, think of this: Say you have just initial in the account, you buy 1, and a point up, either broker or exchange jumps the margin, making maint. say 3700. You have your 2500 plus 1000 profit. In the old days, margin call; now days, they should sell you out right there. I wonder what they would have done.

Thing was, CME clearing knew that depending on what FOMC did, the bonds could easily exceed margin in their moves. They might have already made the decision that, depending on what happened, they were going to make sure the shorts would be able to settle at the end of the day.
