MB Trading Expands Intraday Futures Margin to 4-to-1
El Segundo, CA, September 23, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Manhattan Beach Trading Financial Services, Inc. (“MBTFS”), a technology-driven, low-commission brokerage specializing in order routing in Equities, Futures, and Options through various global exchanges and electronic networks, announced Tuesday that it now offers 4-to-1 intraday margin leverage on all futures contracts offered by the firm.
“Given that a high percentage of futures trades are completed intraday, it makes sense to offer skilled traders higher leverage in their futures accounts,” said Ross Ditlove, CEO and Co-Founder of MB Trading. “Our Account Management Systems are more than capable of monitoring the extra risk associated with this type of margin. This is a manageable addition to our offerings that will benefit our current and future clients.”
The increased margin will not apply to overnight maintenance requirements for positions held between sessions. MB Trading offers more than 75 full-sized and mini futures contracts on various exchanges with immediate routing. Commissions are a flat $0.95 per contract each way with exchange fees added.
The new intraday margin rates can be found at http://www.mbtrading.com/commissions.aspx?page=Futures.
MB Trading remains one of the largest privately held electronic brokerage firms in the United States. “MB Trading continues to look at any detail that will give an edge to our traders over other brokers.” added David Lipsett, Executive Vice President of MBTFS. “We are always price competitive, but adding features and making it easier for people to trade all asset classes is just as important a piece of our model.”
