TradeStation election related adjusted margins

"Due to potential market volatility around the U.S. Presidential elections, reduced intraday futures margin rates will not be available after 4PM ET Friday October 23, 2020. All Futures accounts will be required to have full maintenance margin when trading futures products. In addition, CFE VIX Futures products will require 200% of initial margin to establish a position and 200% of maintenance margin to maintain positions. The TradeStation Trading Operations and Risk Management Teams will be actively monitoring global markets and we will advise once reduced intraday futures margins are available."

They probably won't be the only ones making changes.
 
How long do you think this will last ? it has been almost 3 weeks with no reduced intraday futures margin rates... maybe I should move my account
 
Last as long as necessary I suppose. Move to broker who doesn't reduce, when they should, is not something I would do. But, of course, it is your money your call.
