    Fw: Take Action on the Proposed CFTC Regulations
    I agree 100% with the new proposed regulations. FX is extremely high risk, and should be viewed as going to a casino.
    Nobody wins with such high leverage.

    TAKE ACTION - TIME IS RUNNING OUT!
    Recently, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that it is seeking public
    comment on proposed regulations concerning Forex trading.
    WHAT ARE THE PROPOSED CHANGES?
    [] Require retail foreign exchange dealers to limit the leverage available to their retail customers to 10 to 1.

    ~ Require all retail Forex indust~ players, including Introducing Brokers, to register with the CFTC.
    ~ Implement a $20 million minimum net capital standard, with an additional volume-based minimum
    capital threshold.
    HOW WILL THESE CHANGES AFFECT FOREX TRADERS AND THE AMERICAN ECONOMY?
    Should the 10 to 1 leverage rule proposed by the CFTC be adopted:
    ~ Funded accounts currently in the U.S. system can be expected to go offshore.i0-001
    COMMENT
    CL-08256
    [] Forex fraud may worsen, not improve. Unregulated dealers from around the world will thrive, while operating
    without requirements for capital adequacy, risk management models, marketing ethics, dealing practices or
    even returning of customers funds.
    [] The United States may cost itself millions of dollars in trade revenue.
    [] Thousands of white collar jobs that require an advanced education and range from software developers to
    accountants to foreign exchange dealers may be eliminated, or move out of the United States.
