Heck no.

I just know that last night confirmed to me my smart decision to never freaking trade futures for more than a short time lest I lose everything I own in a margin call.

I mostly just do options on futures

Some people going to go bankrupt, for sure.

Btw, for those that didn’t see it...IB stopped their intraday margin level last week.

They got their head handed to them in a Swiss Bank debacle so they are quicker on the draw for this kind of thing

I used to daytrade emini Russell futures. For about 10 years. People would ask me if it was stressful. My answer was always...I’m 100% cash by the end of the day and I sleep really well at night.

Robinhood is down again. They may get sued into oblivion.
