Is this a viable avenue for a small account holder? I have a $5k acct.
Currently (in addition to other futures) I only feel I can do Canadian
and midam BP where I can get for the BP a contract size of 12,500 BPs.
(I base this on a nominal risk (to the stoploss) of <= 5-6% and margin <
10% of acct.) Can you do forex in $10,000 size with margins of ca. $400
(4% overnight margin was mentioned)?
