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.
VOICE YOUR OPINION NOW
Should you feel strongly about the proposal, there is still time for you to help determine the
outcome. The deadline for public comment is March 22, 2010. Make your opinion heard by
sending comments directly to the CFTC at: [email protected]
(please CC:
[email protected])
Please include 'Regulation of Retail Forex' in the subject line of your message and the following
identification number in the body of the message: RIN 3038-A061.i0-001
