Outside US, I am invested in my home country with currency X. Currency X is not a strong currency so I hedged my entire currency X portfolio using Forex Futures contract.

Now I have enough funds on my broker account. But still thought of margin call makes me very nervous.

Is there a margin-call free solution to hedge currency risk?

So the SEC voted to change settlement time from T+2 to T+1 beginning the end of May 2024.

I’m curious if the introduction of FedNow will eventually make settlement “instantaneous” or at least by EOD (T+0).

Hi all,

Highly doubt the debt ceiling isn't raised in the next coming weeks based solely on the disastrous economic consequences this would have.

Would you expect SPY to see a bump on news that it's approved? Worth a few calls or better to stay away from potential volatility?

I don’t see any flaws in this logic but I also don’t know a-lot about the stock market. Does this make sense? Would it be dumb to do this? What should I do?

I have an etf that has activison in it. With the EU approving the deal for Microsoft to own it,what happens to the shares in the etf? Is it a direct payout since I’m an owner? Do the shares become Microsoft? Or does the fund just get a lump sum from the buyout?
