OK. I will answer myself after finding this on the web: Microsoft Word - FPB 09-01 - Clearing Fees for Member Firm Accounts CME - CBOT - NYMEX -...
I am considering a business idea of an arcade-type business for trading futures on CME. I am thinking of setting up an LLC that would become an...
@Ironbeam @Robert Morse Does every FCM require a personal guarantee of an LLC's member when opening the account for this type of entity? Is...
Perhaps this is the answer to "how many contracts to trade at most?". If they have done all the job for you and come up with a number that...
@Ironbeam As a side question - can you, or any other FCM demand a margin that is higher than what the exchange says it is? When would that be the...
How do exchanges like CME calculate the margin for a particular futures contract? Do you use that value, or a multiple of it, as a guide as to...

I do not know what to think myself of this idea. It is just as rational as some daytraders' idea of "A setups" where they risk 2 or 3...
I am considering a trading system in which you play to get two winners in a row, where the second winner is risking the profits of the first one....
I am glad I inspired some discussion here. 2/20% model has only been introduced not so long ago and it seems it was not a good idea. Besides, now...
Hi Chuck, I am writing in response to your message in the thread I started about a prop firm vs. hedge fund. Can you point me in the right...
What legal structure do you suggest then? Set up a company and use instruments like shares/bonds to raise capital? Or set up a fund and bear...
I am coming to a conclusion that fixed income debt (corporate bonds) would be the easiest way to raise capital. Investors, especially in the...
