Suppose today's settlement price on a CME DM futures contract is $0.6080/DM. You have a short position in one contract. Your margin account presently has a balance of $1,700. The next three days' settlement prices are $0.6066, $0.6073, & $0.5989. Compute the changes in the margin account from daily marking-to-market and the balance of the margin account after the third day.
$1,700 + [($0.6080 - $0.6066) + ($0.6066 - $0.6073) + ($0.6073 - $0.5989)] x DM125,000 = $2,837.50,
Here DM125, 000 is the contractual size of one DM contract.
