  1. Oops... What is the reason? To avoid contract's expiration?

  2. margin
    in North America fx leverage is limited to 50:1 whereas it's 500:1 for daytrading one
    6E futures contract
    but trading futures overnight means the margin increases to $4,320 which is higher
    than the fx margin

  3. Futures: If you don't have the margin, your under-capitalized. The end.

  4. Right. :)

    I would add:

    Forex: you will have the illusion to have enough capital.
    The end either (a quicker one) ;-))
