Hi,
Im interested in trading the FGBL (German Bond). The Broker of my choice would be IB. As i read and heard they are reliable and reasonably priced. But being Beginner, i need your help.
I'm interested in the cost- plus price structure.
https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=commission&p=futures2
So what are the total costs for trading 1 FGBL-
Contract ?
Am i'm right if it's: 0.90 EUR + 0.20 EUR per Halfturn, so total costs for f.e. buy and
cover 1 FGBL- Contract is 2.20 EUR?
In the IB- Example CAC-40 is a clearing fee and transaction fee, i think I have to add these costs to my 2.20 EUR, right?
thanks for your help!

Also check margins, sometimes IB's margins are higher. Affects ability to trade depending on account size.
