Hi all,

Someone knows how much is necessary to open Forex account with banks?
Example: BNZ, NAB , Nomura, Commerzbank and etc...

Probably i guess that to trade with banks is played by an elite.

Mail them...but don't expect to walk in there with MT, have to know what you're doing.

Most replies I got was they'll only take institutional investors, which has very broad definition. Basically you need a company first.

I have a friend who works for Deutsche Bank and they only take a minimum open account of 500 million. Not sure if every bank is the same but that is their starting line for a proper fx account

Ok that's a load of crap. If that were the case, most people including brokers will not able to maintain a minimum balance.

I know this because my workplace has an fx account with NAB. THERE'S NO MINIMUM OPENING BALANCE AT ALL! The only caveat is that you'd only be able open it with a business and they start slugging you with fees if the balance falls below $20000 aud.

I highly doubt other banks are so much different.

Citibank and Barclays have their own brokerage arm, while OCBC in Singapore accepts accounts directly.

Citibank - https://www.citifxpro.com/ >> USD10,000 (Standard) / USD50,000 (Premium)
Barclays - https://www.barclaysmarginfx.com/ >> GBP2,500
OCBC - https://portal.iocbc.com/Accounts/leveraged-forex-account.html >> USD500 (Mini) / USD30,000 (Standard)
The market will go up, failing which, it will go down.

Banks typically have higher fee structure because they do not benefit from loosing customers like most brokers do!
And they don't offer much leverage because institutional traders don't use much leverage. 1:50 in forex is good leverage.
But remember that most banks are just brokers and even might use same infra your regular broker does.
Being Bearish or Bullish Makes No Difference

Owh god...please don't spread something you don't know. Newbies please do your research okay...Deutsche Bank need about 25m if you want them as a prime broker..rabobank about 500k...there are other just shop around. Call and ask them.
If you work hard consistently eventually you will get it.

Yup deutsche bank needs that if you want them to consider to be your prime broker. They are the biggest so yup they want that. I am not talking about retail trading ya..this is their institutional service. Other smaller banks may have lower minimums. Check out rabobank etc. Just shop around. Ask them yourself.

Igor: If you have 100k to 1million there are banks that will deal with you. Again it depends on what your volume per months etc.

People read this for info on prime brokers.

hey @Iroa, tell me if you trade with NAB? :-D

I sent an email for ANZ searching the prices to trade with trader bankers.

The unique difference between retail brokers and banks is that Banks have better robot systems and better analysts working for that none money be loosed on markets. I think that trade with banks can be more safe because the information is more safe. What do you think?

do you know if NAB gives consistence direction on markets instructing your clients to do better performance? i.e Banks helps the trader to be more calm (relaxed) about future trends?
