I don't believe that is the correct definition of maintenance margins.  The
initial margin is required per contract on the day of the futures trade,
while only the maintenance margin is required per contract every day
thereafter so long as the futures position remains outstanding.   Your
broker can provide you with the latest margin requirements - initial,
maintenance and daytrading.
