2. What type of account can I open?
The most traditional accounts are individual or joint accounts. However, clients can open corporate, LLC, Trust, Partnerships, or retirement accounts.
4. How do I deposit funds?
The clearing firms accept deposits via personal check, certified bank checks, wires, and account transfers. Money orders and credit cards are not acceptable methods of deposits. If you choose to send a certified bank check, please make sure the banking institution types the "remitter's name" on the check; (cannot be hand-written). Also, please make sure to write checks to the name of the clearing firm (not Mirus Futures).
5. How do I withdraw funds?
You may withdraw funds by e-mailing or calling your Mirus Futures representative or e-mailing info@mirusfutures.com We can send money via check (only to the name on the account and to the address on file) or via bank wire. Checks are free while wires range from $25-$40.
6. How do I receive statements and other account information?
Statements are sent via e-mail, but you also receive a username and password to access your account information online. This will allow you to view current and past statements. Statements are only generated when there is activity in the account, so if you don’t trade, you will not receive a statement that day. You may also request hard copies of your statements for a small monthly fee.
10. What are your normal business hours?
We are open 24 hours/day for your convenience, but we do ask that you reserve customer service (non-emergency) phone calls to “normal” business hours of 7am-7pm CT.
14. What is the difference between intraday and overnight margin?
In the futures market, clients receive a more favorable margin requirement for trades that are not held overnight, called “intraday margin”. This is typically set at $500/contract, although we don’t recommend using full leverage. Overnight margin is the required amount in your account per contract to hold positions overnight,(defined as holding a position when the market closes). This overnight margin requirement is set by the exchange and does fluctuate. You can view recent margin requirements here.
16. What exchanges can I trade?
Mirus Futures is proud to offer CME, CBOT, Nymex, Nybot, Eurex, and many others through our clearing relationships. Please contact us if you would like to trade additional markets on exchanges not listed above.
