Hi Again, ok thanks for your help on this. so i'm just trying to make out money management for my future portfolio (most likely losers!) but what im wondering is about the margins returned once a trade is closed? so i get how the margin is calculated initially (5% or 10% of buy price/sell price) so say if my stop loss at 10% or whatever is hit and i get out of that trade....do i still get the initial margin i paid back or has the margin now devalued also now that the value is 5 or 10% less and i end up not only losing on my trade but losing 10% of my margin also? many thanks for your help....

This might be a silly question but how come actual closing prices are differnet for spot and futures on different websites ie barchart...its just for doing weekly ma when prices are different you get different entry and exit points for me. apologies if a silly question!!?

ok thanks for your reply. so every time the roll over happens i will only have to pay the spread once?

Hi all just looking for a bit of help regarding the fees acquired for holding long term currency positions? for example on GBPCAD the spread is 12 and is rollovered every quarter....doe this mean for one year it would cost €96 per point to hold the position for 12 months? seems very expensive. any help advice on this would be very much appreciated. Eg: buy at spread 12 and sell at 12 = 24 / Quarter ? thanks
