Dan, you need to realize fundamentals have no meaning at this point. I would not suggest trying to 'fool' the other side by bidding lower, don't enflame the other side here, a very small playing field, few majors. You have made a mistake and must pay for the lesson. Hit the offer before this becomes unmanageable and chalk to experience. If you don't, the margin clerk will take care of this for you, who is always right on the market by the way. Nobody watching X except you and your counterparty. You need to leave this trade ASAP and move on. The CME margin hike may possibly help. CO
