I am thinking of trading Futures, more specifically the ES - Mini S&P 500 and I have a question. The Initial Margin for this contract is $5625....
Thanks for the info. I don't like American options because of the nasty surprise when they unexpectidely get excersized! I have written many a...
Another question about CME FX Options. Are they American? So can they be excersized early and what do you get if excersized? The futures...
So called OTC dealers of FX are scary for me. As you mention there is counter party risk. Also I have heard many horror stories of how badly the...
