He forex margin trading is fully equipped with automatic loss cut system, which is quite different from the margin call system in the Commodity futures practice. Additional margin would be claimed when the losses by the Commodity futures expands to some extent. It is an awful system because you should always meet the margin requirement and fill the shortage in the margin account, which is usually required when the revaluation loss reaches 50% of the margin requirement.
In the forex margin trading, most brokers adopt the automatic loss cut system, where you would be forced to cut all your position to avoid further losses. This system functions as a safety net for individual investors, and the brokers using this system won't claim any additional margin even if the account balance falls deficit.
The forex margin trading does not have the delivery month to settle off while the Commodity futures have. The Commodity futures have some delivery months in line with the last trading date, like March, June, September and December. On the other hand, the forex margin trading has no maturity date, and so, the position in the forex margin trading is automatically rolled over until liquidation. It could be carried over without any limit until the liquidation, so long as the account balance allows. You have to roll over the futures contract if you carry it toward the next delivery month, while you don't have to mind in the forex margin trading.
