What are the margin requirements for FXCM's 24-hour US Share CFDs?

Margin requirements for these CFDs vary per instrument and are updated daily after 5:00 PM ET. The margin is calculated as a percentage of the last price before 5:00 PM ET. For instance, if a stock's midpoint is $200.00 at 5:00 PM ET and the margin requirement is 10%, the margin will be $2.00 per FXCM contract (since 1 FXCM contract equals 0.1 shares). ​

Are there risks associated with trading during extended hours?

Yes, trading during extended hours can involve lower liquidity, higher volatility, and wider spreads compared to regular market hours. Additionally, significant company news often breaks outside standard trading times, potentially leading to rapid price movements. Traders should exercise caution and consider these factors when engaging in after-hours trading.
