Here are some links to get you started on your research:

ICE Exchange.

The CME

A clearing exchange: LCHClearnet

You'll need to have cash on reserve to meet margin requirements as this would be settled at the close of every day in terms i.e. If you have a loss, it's taken out of your acccount.

Anyway, have a look at the margin requirements etc, they vary for different products.Also, what a clearing house requires you to have on reserve.
