All true. SWIFT on the other hand is the "nuclear option" and they are seriously discussing it right now. It's insanely stupid of the West to even think about this.

Are you really sure about this? Sentiment has turned quite significantly with this regard in the last hours.

Thanks, def, but I really do not understand the actual regulatory aspect supposedly in play here: There are numerous products allowed to be traded for EU clients, that could result in negative portfolio balances. The mere FX conversion, by way of using portfolio margin, could theoretically...

I was talking about ccy conversion without using portfolio margin (or cfds). I mean, ok sure, you could leverage yourself via margin in a ccy conversion via FXCONV, but that would wouldn't make much sense, right, and it could be very easily prevented by the broker. On the other hand...

See, this is, what I do not understand: It's a direct conversion by means of applying the spot rate. Where's the leverage? Where's the danger in creating a negative balance?

Why are EU IB clients (meaning UK/US) not allowed to create positive foreign currency balances (via FXCONV)? After the whole mess with the new EU subsidiaries this was a problem supposedly having to do with regulation. I don't believe this. Will this change? It there a timeline? What's the real...

I don't know, I read all the posts here and I really was interested in the topic op decided to go for. I mean, I'm not exactly doing this since 10 years or so, but I am nearing 2 years at least. I am a premium seller with options, mostly on equities, sometimes ETFs, but more interestingly...

Do you play CL or other flavors, too? By FOPs exclusively or futures, too? What time frames?

Be careful with the market data, guys. Have a look at this: WTI is clearly ticking at 46.1X USD at the time of my recording, while bars and volume just don't print. I tried reconnecting the data as you will see and hear in the video, I also changed the time resolution of the candles - both...

No question about that and this was my believe in the first place. ...and exactly THIS is what he totally failed to deliver. A very simple, yet important information. I believe, I made myself clear. Communication was clearly weak on the CS side. I mean, come on, he neither was replying at...

@zdreg: Wed, 06 May 2020 starting at 11:50:59 GMT, I closed the chat about 27-28 minutes later, because I wasn't replied to after some 15 minutes. @luisHK: "Not sure why you think you might be liquidated" - Like I said, I was very sure the whole thing wouldn't affect me at all. On the other...

Such was my initial understanding, but CS didn't make it sound like that and it didn't exactly help that he wasn't responding to further questions. Thanks for the reply, but, you know, everyone starts small and I'll rather ask to be sure, than run into things blindly.
