FX + Futures In Same Account?

[ivot]

Hey All,

I was wondering if it was possible to trade FX and Futures contracts in the same brokerage account. My ideal situation would be to trade FX and Futures in the same account online with one of the big firms out there. So, if this can be done I would appreciate the info as well as the names of any firms (reputable of course!) that allow online trading.

That's awesome. That would make my money management a whole lot easier. I spoke with expressTrade (now optionsExpress) and they told me FX and futures weren't allowed to be traded in the same account. Obviously they are wrong. Do you guys know of any other firms that do it?

Nah, sorry ivot, I don't. Although, I've not researched it, so there may well be others. But, with I.B.'s 'Universal Account', you can trade your granny's false teeth if you want to - well almost - and, with their 'Duck Arrrse' commissions, they're gonna be hard to beat.

I think you can trade both from one account on tradestation as well.
