I must say that there is a slight conflict here, as I myself am a commodity trader, and I of course, think that my platform is the best. If you have interest in looking into this, please email me directly
Very simply, in my opinion, commodities are not investments, but should be used for hedging, or speculating. One might take the position that buying currencies, or gold or silver may be an investment play
If your reason to be short/long in different accounts is in case you have a loss in one, you can have a profit in the other??? Very smart. No one has ever thought of that. And may I ask, what is the purpose
This is really a question for your accountant, but you may not be long in one account and short in another, unless it is a hedge position, which it is not. Your end of yesr P/L is based on mark to market
...cant really help you on this one. Most of the companies that trade in the spot cash currency markets are not regulated, and usually sell you a bill of goods ttto get you to open an account. The spreads
