There is something wrong here
Now the ES at 685 has a value of 34,250 USD and the margin requested by the exchange is 6188 USD
This means a leverage of 5.5
When the ES was at 1500 the value was 75,000 USD and the margin requested by the exchange was 3850 USD
A leverage of 20
OK the volatility has changed big during this waterfall decline, but right now is low
What the CME is waiting for in order to reduce margins?
