I read the American derivative futures in cfa, it’s easy, since your u don’t pay any money while entering into contract, no need to record anything. But for margins, I invented this technique, capitalise margins
Margin balance Asset a/c 1000
To bank a/c 1000
and during the long position, don’t do anything about losses and gains related to basis risk and similarly margin additional balance or loss. When you settle the contract, if you gain 1500, delivery of cash, then
Bank 1500
To Margin balance asset a/c 1000
To gain 500
how does this sound?
