### Comment:
You're talking to a professional futures trader. ES futures Initial Margin is $6600. Brokers discount that margin to as low as $200 for day trading. You didn't experience a bug, you were just getting discounted intraday margins. Same goes for crude (CL).

### REPLY:
was looking at amp futures, 500 margin for daytrading equities futures, are they shady?
