ความยุ่งยากในการเปิดบัญชีสำหรับตราสารอนุพันธ์น้ำมัน — โบรกเกอร์ & KYB

Definitely seeing that too. It seems like the regulatory focus on energy markets has intensified, leading to a much more rigorous due diligence process across the board, even for established firms. I wonder if it's also partly due to the increased volatility we've seen in crude.

I've definitely noticed the same, especially when trying to set up accounts with smaller prop shops. It feels like they're asking for a lot more documentation than they used to, even for basic access. Do you think it's specific to oil, or are other commodities seeing similar changes?

It's not just oil derivatives; I've seen a similar trend across most commodities and even some niche equity derivatives. The increased KYB is definitely a pain, but understandable given the regulatory climate. Have you tried approaching any of the larger, more established institutions, or are you specifically targeting smaller brokers?

It's almost as if everyone decided to read the fine print on 'know your business' when energy prices started doing acrobatics. Good to know it's not just my desk buried under a mountain of compliance paperwork.
