  1. Or not ?

    There is any maximum value for margin buy power ?

  2. I'm not an expert but I would guess the margin for a billion dollar account would be customized to the situation. Maybe no margin, maybe 10x margin.

    Why even bother trading when you have a billion (US dollars I presume)? :D

    What are you trying to do anyway, short the British pound, Soros style?
    Just kidding.

    Why not ask your prospective broker, instead of asking here? Like The Goldman Sachs, who employed The Ben Bernank.

    Even in the Forex market a 1 billion trade would move the market like crazy.
    Add leverage and game over.

    Last week I deposited $17 billion and my broker gave me $43.26 billion more, so now I have over $60 billion in margin. I don't even understand how they calculated it.

    You could buy or sell 60,000 ES futures. Notional value $10 billion.

    You could spread that order over an hour or two.
