Hey Ids, is IB planning to lower the Nymex futures (particularily energy: CL,NG,RB)?

The summer volatility in index futures, didn't even effect energy futures in the first place..seems odd they would be left raised...

THANK YOU, DEAR IB, FOR RELAXING THESE INTRADAY MARGINS.

Don't mean to push but what about MidCap 400 (EMD)??

Thank you, and thank IB for having taken the necessary
precautions to protect both IB and us over the last few
months.

Is there any way to receive these important updates by email?

I'd rather be bombarded by a list of updates in a daily bulletin from IB than be notified only when I check ET.
