Hi,
Currently for selling options, my broker currently charges margin same as for buying/selling futures contracts.

If I do a spread trade such as calendar spread or ratio back spread, I have to pay margin invidiually on each leg of the trade.

Are there any brokers who provide better margin requirements on spread trades. Margins based on position risk rather than trade leg risk.

Heard of MF global, am connecting with them to see if they offer this service.
