Noticed a slight uptick in maintenance margin requirements for a few of my futures positions recently. Anyone else experiencing this across their brokers or contracts? Thinking it might be tied to the increased volatility.
Quick question: Does your prop firm explicitly forbid or restrict trading around major news events (e.g., NFP, FOMC)? I know some have rules about opening or closing trades within a certain window. Just want to make sure I'm not overlooking any fine print. My current firm doesn't, but I'm looking at others.
