Alaron changing Day trading margins?

Quote from osorico:

What is so hard to understand? ... When going all-in (100% of account value), regardless of margin values, one deserves what one gets.

exactly my point. What I don't understood is someone caring about margin changes when they should be caring more about risk management. whatever...
 
Minimum margin requirements for futures gambl .... oops ... I mean traders are still low.

If you are serious trader with good risk management you should never have any problems with margin requirements.

What is so hard to understand? The win or loss is the same, regardless of margin requirement. There is no difference between the money management. Winning or losing x amount is the same regardless if you put up $500 or $5000 for the privilege of playing a specific instrument.

Initial account value determines risk/money management, not margin requirements. Margin requirement has no bearing as to whether or not a trader, intraday or otherwise, goes all-in. When going all-in (100% of account value), regardless of margin values, one deserves what one gets.

Well said... All the whiners regarding margin changes are simply OVER TRADERS destined to blow up anyway.....

Its funny, I looked up after reading all the complaints and realized, Oh, they did up my margin requirements on ONE INSTRUMENT I am trading... I didnt even notice it... Why??? Risk Management is in play... Margin requirements dont matter (at least to my system)
