What are the Financing methods? Which are the banks will provide the financing? How they will provide?

Best Answer

Actually, since they are futures and there is no settlement until the contract comes due, there is no financing required other than the initial margin requirement which is more of a security for the broker that you will pay for any losses incurred. If the security is deposited in the form of t-bills, then you can actually earn interest on the deposit. If the balance falls to a position requiring more margin and you do not provide the margin, he just closes your positions and liquidates the account. Nothing could be more simple.

http://cftb.jp & http://www.mitsuifinancial.com/_eng/services/ Is this a real websites or a fraud?, do you accept option investments?

Best Answer

Looks like an real website to me. Commodities and Futures are a good investment option if you have a minimum of $20,000 to invest and you can lose the money without it impacting your life. You can make a great deal of money in a short period of time - doubling your money in a matter of weeks - but it is a very high risk investment and you either have to have a great commodities broker that you trust or you have to spend your whole life watching the commodities market. It's very nerve wracking.

Is there an easy way or any website like Etrade that lets you trade futures?

Best Answer

There are many brokers to use but they cannot make your decisions for you, a broker is usually only interested in making the commission from your trading, don't expect any good advice there. find out what they charge per contract in commissions. online brokers will give you better deals, go with one you are comfortable with. I suggest you do some real homework before beginning in this business. there is much risk if you don't know what you are doing. the market will take your cash and never blink. there are few who actually make profits and the ones who do have studied the field and their chosen markets in depth. good luck.

hey all, I am wondering, is the Initial margin levels all the same for all commodities traded on futures??

Best Answer

No. Different contracts have different initial margins. For example, corn has an initial margin of $1350, while S&P 500 contracts have an initial margin of $17,500. It depends on volatility and such.
