Margin changed because Web Trader is now using Tradovate as client app

[lorefire]

I have $100 in my account which is usually enough to trade 1 MES with $50 margin at NinjaTrader. Now it's using the Tradovate client and the margin has increased to $200. What happened?

Hello lorefire,

Thank you for posting.

Due to the conflict in Israel, margins were temporarily set to four times (4x) the standard intraday requirements from the open until the US cash open this morning. Intraday margins have reverted back to the standard requirements.

Please click on the following dynamically updated page to view the most up-to-date margin requirements and NinjaTrader's margin policy.

Please be advised that the NinjaTrader risk team evaluates market conditions in real-time and reserves the right to adjust intraday margins in accordance with market volatility. If required, temporary changes to the amount of margin required for trading may be made without prior notification.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance. Thank you again for reaching out.
