<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 7355616, member: 26302&quot;]To be fair, the market the futures and options were on raised margin requirements to protect itself. The volatility had increased tremendously, and the market did not want to take a risk it would not be made whole. NYSE, Comex, CME, all of these markets do NOT take market risk, and when volatility increases they normally raise margin requirements to protect themselves. They have to settle both sides of the trade, so if a loser on a trade cannot come up with the money, Comex still has to pay the winner themselves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
