Purchasing foreign exchange future for hedging

[Chopper 17,411]

I'm going to need to invest 6 figures in euros in a couple months and I'd like to hedge today's euro price because of my concern that a certain political party will play highly risky political games with the national debt and end up fucking up the value of the USD. So I want to hedge the value of the current USD/EUR price. But I have no idea what company to use to do this.

Alternatively to buying a futures contract, and the preference would be to just pay for a futures contract, I could just buy the euros but I don't know if it's possible to hold a euro denominated account at a US Bank or at what legit bank I could easily enough open an account to do this.

That's exactly what a scammer would say.

I'm the real deal & all I need is your CC #, CVV & full billing address / your name IRL.  It's these added details that prove I'm legit.

IBKR brokerage, HSBC banking, and digital banks (Revolut, Transferwise, etc) all have multi-currency accounts.  You can open all of them online, push in USD, then convert to EUR and hold.

For futures any brokerage that has futures should offer /6E and /M6E (from the CME) which is EUR/USD in 2 notional sizes.  You can also buy options on /6E futures but liquidity is a bit shit.

Received this email today and all they wanted was $135 so I could claim all the documents needed to prove ownership of $2M. Done!

Citi also does multiple currency accounts.

This is Brenda J. Gonzalez (LTC) of the U.S Army Special Operations Command (USASOC), 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne), Air Force Base – Afghanistan

Please I need your urgent assistance in securing a consignment (two trunk boxes) containing (€20,000,000), the funds are surpluses of several contracts executed by my department during a supply of MH (Military Hardware).

The consignment is presently in Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands, via a U.S Military Air & Surface Transportation Company (ADM Europa LLC). My desire and purpose is to have the (ADM Europa LLC) to deliver the funds to you for safe-keeping until I return back to the U.S mid-next year after my deployment.

If you receive this message please e-mail me immediately with a delivery address and your full contact information; the deal is 60/40 split (60% for me and 40% for you); I am not a greedy woman and I hope you will not double cross a struggling uniform single mother with 3 teenage children?

Once you receive the consignment (€20,000,000) take out your 40% (€8,000,000) and save my 60% (€12,000,000) for me until I return back to the U.S mid-next year after my deployment.

May God bless you as you extend your helping hand to the needy!

Please REPLY!

Respectfully,

Lt. Col. Brenda J. Gonzalez (Mrs.)
