Assume that on April 27th of this year you were watching copper prices. Given their trajectory, you felt they were going to decline. So you went short one contract at a price of 448.80 (this is in cents and 100ths of a cent). The initial margin is $6,050. The maintenance margin is $5,500. The minimum price movement is .05 cents (.0005 dollars) which equals $12.50. What date will you receive a margin call?

Date - Price in cents: 4/27/21 448.8 4/28/21 449.8 4/29/21 449.3 4/30/21 447.9 5/3/21 454.3 5/4/21 453.6 5/5/21 453.9 5/6/21 461.9 5/7/21 476.6 5/10/21 473.35 5/11/21 477.85 5/12/21 475.25 5/13/21 470.55 5/14/21 466.4 5/17/21 472.15 5/18/21 473.55 5/19/21 458.95 5/20/21 458.2 5/21/21 449.6 5/24/21 454.15 5/25/21 452.2 5/26/21 453.3 5/27/21 466.3 5/28/21 467.75
