2) In 24 hours (2020-10-31 8am HKT), we will a) increase initial margin requirement to $0.50, so you need $0.50 to get short 1 TRUMP or $0.36 (the current price of TRUMP) to get long 1 TRUMP b) increase maintenance margin requirement to $0.40 - $0.10 * days until the election

3) this applies to BIDEN as well, obviously. If you have a position in the contracts, make sure to manage your risk going into the election!
