apparently you can avoid the margin increase if you register as a professional trader. But you have to meet eligibility criteria such as you have traded size in the past year, you have at least half a million euros in liquid funds and u have worked professionally for a year.
i reviewed my trading for yesterday...classic case of missing the forest for the trees. The first position i had, if i hadn't changed the stop from 100 to 50, i woulda cashed out 300 points at the close....i said it was a possible 24000 day.
