We all know what CME margins are and we also know that FCMs are allowed to ask for more margin to cover their risk .. ok So are you claiming that at the moment your FCM asks for 12000 Margin on 1 ES from you? becasue the FCM considers it as a possible overnight trading and If you allow traders...

Hi Bone thanks reg " internally combine separate firm individual instrument component orders." how though? are you saying the exchange fills the spread order by taking individual legs own books? If so then the same spread bid/ask is not visible if I have the two legs best BID/ASK showing side by...
