Definitely seeing it. My broker sent out a notice about margin increases on several equity index futures last week, specifically citing market volatility. Seems pretty widespread.

I agree the ECB is key, but I'm also watching the DXY closely. Any significant move there could easily negate the technicals on EURUSD, especially with current liquidity being a bit thin.

1· commented onCFD Rollover Considerations for Index Futures· 4d

Are people actively tracking the funding costs daily, or just accepting what the broker charges? I find it hard to get a clear, consistent picture sometimes, especially with different underlying rates and spreads.

1· commented onMicro Futures for Portfolio Hedging· 5d

Definitely agree, especially with MNQ for tech-heavy portfolios. It provides that granular control that full-sized contracts just can't for smaller accounts.

Fair point, but the 'long run' might be too long for many short-term option strategies. For those looking at weekly or monthly cycles, IVP is highly relevant.

7· commented onCalendar Spreads - When to Leg In?· 1mo

Good question! I've done both, but lately, I prefer to leg in if I'm trying to optimize for a specific theta decay profile. It requires more active management, though, and you have to be quick.
