Regulation of Retail Forex
Hi.
Here are my thoughts why this new rule is unvelcome:
Right now my trading capital is about 10 000 EUR.
I am pulling off trades with size about 0.7 standard lot (70 000).
I do not hold my entire trading capital on my brokers account because in the US, there are no law to protect
me in case of my broker goes broke...instead I hold about 25% of my trading capital on my brokers acount, the
rest of it is sitting safely on my bank account.
With the new rules...I mean 1:10 leverage I would have no choice but to trust my entire capital to a FOREX
brokers hands just to make trades I would normally do!
I understand your concern and willingness to protect traders, but before you apply a tighter leverage rule you
should seriously consider making some rules to protect traders in case if broker goes bankrupcy.
Thanks in advance
