Overnight in Asia, stock markets experienced a mixed trading session. The rebound in Chinese industrial profits provided some relief, but this was partially offset by a subdued handover from Wall Street. Australian CPI was also stronger than expected, dampening sentiment on fears that the RBA may have to raise rates again. Moving on to Europe, equity futures indicate a quiet open. In the US, the Senate voted to clear a procedural hurdle for the bipartisan bill aimed at avoiding a government shutdown. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has indicated that a stopgap funding bill will be brought to the House floor on Friday. US durable goods orders are the main event of the session. -
I have seen several people leaving their daily jobs to enter into cryptocurrency because they think it's a place where fast money can be made lol. Some people have done it and Excel but that doesn't mean what works for Mr A will work for Mr B. @cryptorovers is an example of a successful crypto enthusiasts who left his McDonald's job in 2016 to become a full time crypto investor but several people have also tried that and got lost. Getting into new business or opportunity can be dilusional atimes, I could remember when I got into crypto few years back, my popular slang was WAGMI meaning we are all gonna make it together but is that actually true? Of course it isn't. Becoming a crypto Millionare requires a lot. Take for instance, Ben Amstrong popular called Bit boy crypto, aside the fact that he's an early investor in Bitcoin, he has a YouTube channel with over 1.5 Million subscribers and over 1M followers on Twitter where he shares crypto news update, market trends, technical analysis and other new innovations in the world of crypto and blockchain technology across his SNS which has earned him recognition and influence. It is true that when you create influence, money will flow in, no wonder he's now worth around $8M. Embracing cryptocurrency is not a sure way to financial stability. As a matter of fact, it could lead to severe financial loss if one do not do his own research well. To succeed in this space, one must be knowledgeable enough. It's a common parable that people wants to follow who knows the way. Know when opportunities knocks at the door, be patient, remember it took Bitboy almost a decade to hit a million dollar from his BTC holdings. . Are there other ways you think one could explore or apply to succeed or be financially stable in the crypto space? please feel free to share. -

Question
Guest SerArthurDayne
Hi,
Does the calculation for margin requirement change with position size? If so, does anyone have the calculation? I've used the existing data from IG which gives the exact margin requirement up to 170 CFD contracts. However, if I increase the position size from 150 contracts to 180+ contracts, the margin increases substantially. I'm using the exact same formula between the two and the only change is the quantity of contracts. Does the margin requirement increase past a certain threshold of contracts (i.e. any order size greater than 180 contracts has a margin requirement of 0.7% - as opposed to the previous 0.5% for FTSE 100 index options)? I've looked everywhere on IG and can't seem to find anything. It seems that anything past 180 contracts, the previous formula fails to give an accurate margin, despite the only change being the quantity of the order. To confirm, I'm looking specifically at FTSE 100 put options. I sold 40 contracts and the margin calculation is exact, but if you increase the order size from 40 to 180+, the margin calculation breaks down. I'm obviously missing something but don't know where it is. I hope somebody can help.
