I was looking at it. I was seriously considering a 1 year CD, but then I remembered that I've seen swings in currencies that don't last long enough for a CD to mature.

Not the best trading mechanism, compared to futures or options. I'm reluctant to get into futures, and my discount brokers don't trade options on futures.

So it's a nice function for small players (10k min though) but not a great way to hedge in what could be a dynamic environment. That said, I still think I'll open one.
