Default Re: Jim Rogers Buying the Yuan

Maintenance margin reqs are usually 75% of the initial margin for futures contracts. So if you put 10k into a 125k contract with 20:1 margin (initial margin req 6,250), it needs to drop 5,312.50 (so you have 4,687.50 equity)... 4.25%

I think I'm correct, but the first time doing this type of calc
