Notification - Margin Requirement Change for Volatility Products VIX (the CBOE Volatility Index) has established new all-time lows over the course of the past month. The price dynamics of that product are such that it can have very large relative price increases over a very short period of time base on news and other market factors. In recognition of the special risk of sudden, large increases in market volatility, that is inherent in Volatility Products such as VIX, Interactive Brokers will put into place greater margin requirements for Volatility Products after expiration processing on Saturday, 19 August 2017. I got this email last week. Hope it wont create a spike if everyone starts covering

CNBC saying that they suspect that the trader that took out the large long vix position is the one behind the rumor of Gary Cohn stepping down and jumping ship
That's what prompted the WH statement that Cohn is still on board
