Thank you! Did they publish margin, I can't see that. Did I miss something?

Thanks,

Understood. Will give it some thought and try to attack it from the not so obvious angle.

Margin is based on SPAN ratios so you could calculate it exactly. I believe it's something like a 3rd deviation move on a daily basis. When you factor in a tick size of $25 per $1 move in the index that's like $25k. Yeah, that's just a little more than insane. Am I reading this right??

what is going to happen if someone like JPM start selling BTC futures with crazy large size. How will this effective the underlying price at each BTC exchange?


Well, what happens when JPM sells naked gold futures in crazy large size?
