Hi LeeD, You're absolutely right, I would need a substantial deposit amount in the Forex account in case the GBP/USD rate moves against me dramaticly. Since I am long GBP short USD in the forex account, any decrease in the GBP/USD rate will trigger losses in the forex account. If I buy GBP...

Hi LeeD, Thanks very much for your input, very useful. I contacted a few brokers who accept to open accounts for UK residents but the account has to be opened in USD. So, I am thinking I will do the following: 1) Convert the GBP deposit into USD. As you mentioned, the conversion of GBP...

you must differentiate exposure on profit/loss only and exposure on both profit/loss and deposit. Example 1: exposure on profit/loss only: I fund the account with GBP 10,000 and the deposit stays in GBP at all times. With this deposit I buy US shares worth USD 12,000, and I sell them back...

Hi, I am a long term investor holding long positions for months to years. In February 2009, I bought a future CME MINY Crude Oil at around USD 45.5. Since February 2009, I rolled my future position several times (selling back the maturing contract and buying the next monthly / quarterly...

My broker uses the same overnight margin as the EUREX exchange as this a minimum requirement and the amount is changing from time to time. All brokers should have o/n margins that are at least the same amount as the one quoted on the EUREX , but some do not. The amount of o/n margin on IB...
