FCPO Crude Palm Oil Futures Trading

I was told that the margin for holding spread in cpo will increase by 25%. But the outright margin for futures on cpo remained unchanged.
Maybe:
1 Most of the OI is spread trading, and there are some (probably longs) under the kosh
2 The ones who long cpo futures outright, most probably are already sucker punched and cut loss
3 Most trade in 3rd month are probably day trade gambling

When the market makes a huge move such as in the fcpo futures today, many longs were caught off balance... the temptation would be to continue to add to the 'gamble' by averaging or 'holding on and hope the market comes back'....
