CQG is reporting a Margin Calculation Issue across all FCMs/Brokers.

This CQG issue is where previously working or filled orders may contribute to margin calculations on new orders, leading to an incorrect margin calculation, thus causing rejection of order due to insufficient margin (because it is still calculating margin requirement for old orders/positions).

We recommend you do NOT place any new orders until this issue is resolved by CQG.

As soon as CQG confirms resolution of their Issue - we will be be able to return the margins back to our standard day trade margins.
