Question
OK SO I AM JUST EMAILING TO GIVE A LOOK INTO ,MY SITUATION. I AM 23 YEARS OLD
AND HAVE BEEN TRADING FOREX ON THE RETAIL SIDE FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A
HALF. I HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT GAINS IN THAT PAST YEAR OR SO AND I AM
HEAVILY OPPOSED TO THE NEW PROPOSED REGULATIONS ON LEVERAGE POWER. I
REALIZE LEVERAGE CAN BE JUST AS HARMFUL AS IT IS HELPFUL, BUT FOR ME,
STARTING MY ACCOUNT OUT WITH A MERE $2500.00 1 WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO REAP OVER A 100% PROFIT WITH THE PROPOSED NEW RULES. PEOPLE ARE MORE
THAN ADEQUATELY WARNED OF THE DANGERS OF LEVERAGE ON EVERY FOREX SITE I
HAVE BEEN TO. I AM JUST SAYING I AM SEVERELY OPPOSED TO THESE NEW
REGULATIONS, AND I ALONG WITH ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WILL MOVE THEIR
ACCOUNTS TO AN OFFSHORE BROKERAGE IF THESE NEW CHANGES TAKE AFFECT.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. - PETER MCMANUS
