    Fwd: Voice Your Opinion on the CFTC's Proposed Leverage Change
    Dear Sir,
    Pardon me for being harst. I think you guys should used your brain instead to check on unregulated
    brokers instead and those brokers that is giving the forex market a bad name by not executing the orders
    correctly or worst still fraudulently.
    If you decrease the leverage it will create more of those "fly by Night" kindda brokers elsewhere to
    entice the retail players with high leverage. Please don't do this. Although your intention is good, but
    we/i think the retail traders knows what they are doing, after all it's their money not YOURS!!!
    MORON!!!.
    regards,
    Keith

    Dear valued FXDD clients,
    We wanted you to be aware that The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is
    seeking public comment on proposed regulations concerning retail Forex trading.
    PLEASE NOTE: FXDD Malta customers will not be affected by these proposed changes, but are
    still encouraged to voice your opinions.
    According to the CFTC, "leverage in retail Forex customer accounts would be subject to a
    10-to-1 limitation," which means 10:1 leverage would be the maximum amount allowed for
    Forex traders in the U.S.
