Margins Increasing?

Anyone else get an email from tradovate, stating margins will increase by 2X for tomorrow 11-5-2024, and possibly indefinitely due to election volatility? My wife showed me an email stating thats the case for the next few days at the least.

Yes, Tradovate sent emails notifying users of a 2x increase in margins starting on November 5, 2024, likely due to expected market volatility around the elections. The higher margins could stay in place for the next few days or potentially longer, depending on market conditions. This is a common precaution trading platforms take to manage risk during high-volatility events. Also, if you’re into automation also check out pickmytrade.trade for tradovate automation
