    I believe IB no longer offers forex. Your question was about futures. You have no worries apart from managing risk, IB could raise margins in a sec and obviously your model.

    they are offering Forex ;) That's what is really interesting with them, they're offering futures AND forex :)

    ok ty for your feedback , it's appreciated, i'll adapt my MM according to these margin requirements ;)

    But the main problem is remaining :/ I can't only trade the 7-8 futures currencies and forget the 25 other forex pairs i need :(

    Well i'll try again to have an answer of them, i'll tell you if they answer, it can help some people in my positions, good confinement to you all

    LOL, exactly.
    An occasional spike in main trend direction/ no problem or no problem in premarket.
    A bunch of spikes, sharp like ice picks, no thanks.
