You'll get a lot of interest
I am ok to expand margins for non Fx.. I am in Canada where IB has FX and they are roughly $3000/ 100k lot. I run up to 6 positions (so i only have 6 Max) but have no issue with some one wanting more .. i.e ES margins are roughly 5k so on a 6 lot notional margin = 30-33k . it all about processesI like this thread but the margin difference between forex and futures can make a difference in the results. How many contracts can you have open at once with a 25K demo at IB?
