I think you have to ask your broker for the fees. It the broker who can give you exactly the round term fees for the
futures you want to trade. Some are calculating the fees on the number of trades you make

Dear Mirus Futures Customer:
As you are aware, your account was introduced to Rosenthal Collins Group ("RCG"), by Mirus Futures LLC ("Mirus"), a registered independent introducing broker located in Chicago. As an independent introducing broker Mirus cleared its accounts through several registered futures commission merchants ("FCMs"), including RCG and Dorman Trading LLC ("Dorman"). However, Mirus is now a guaranteed introducing broker of Dorman, and so must clear all of its accounts through Dorman.
Mirus moved its accounts to Dorman on or around close of business January 24th, 2014. However, neither Dorman nor RCG is able to service your Canadian account going forward, and so RCG must close your account and return your funds to you.
Please complete the attached International Funds Transfer Authorization form and return it to RCG at [email protected] or fax it to (312) 795-7948 prior to the close of business on Friday February 14, 2014 so that we may return your funds to you.
Sincerely,
RCG Compliance
I had the same experience as you. Closed my account with RCG, received my funds, and then got an account statement from Dorman a couple days later showing zero balance. Ridiculous since I never agreed to an account with Dorman!
This must have been a bulk transfer and an administrative entry.
If I am not mistaken, there is a grace period as far as you providing information and filling out the form.
After that, it is auto closed. Again, check with clearing as I go off memory.
Matt
Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. You may lose more than your initial investment. All posts are opinions and do not claim to be facts. Please conduct your own due diligence. Use only Risk capital when trading Futures.

Good question, I'm curious too. My guess is that if Canadians were allowed to open accounts with US brokers, then Canadian brokers would probably lose all their local customers..
Hi Matt, thanks for your post #1191. I was sure that the FCMs would not want to close their Canadians' accounts, if they could do so. Was just curious about what are the laws/regulations that prevents that..so your reply kinda sums it up..
