dennerle, that's some good info - thanks.
Pietpatat - if that will be the case, then I guess that usa based traders are out of luck.. maybe it's time to apply for a new citizenship?

lol...
Biz, they can't. The most basic freedom of them all is denied US citizens. Unless the US government agrees US citizens can't give up their citizenship. Only country in the world where you can't. Best way forward for them is offshore companies or trust funds in offshore jurisdictions. Expensive. Bout $5000 US a pop. Getting very difficult for them and these new rules will close retail fx to them. They'll have to start trading options on fx on the CME which is off course the goal here. US is closing the retail fx industry. No doubt about it. Whatever their stated goals are. Considering the amount of time, effort and money it takes to learn to do this, if I was a US citizen I'd sue the CFTC for taking away my ability to earn a living and future income. 20 years of compound growth! Chang beer is evil. |

Under the circumstances, some will probably will. I wonder if other countries will follow? After all, the entire world's economy was affected last year, and limiting your exposure to the markets is actually a good idea to minimize risk (Yeah, I know it's basic money management ).

They're Canadian...
I struggle to tell the difference as well, they all look the same to me! But ask any Canadian and they'll correct you quite passionately... Chang beer is evil. |

aah, thanks :)
By decreasing the leverage the USD should become less volatile. This is good because then the USD will be much more stable. What do you prefer - to have non-volatile or volatile world currency? Obama is trying to save the status of USD like world currency... Memento mori! |

I'm sure some like the volatility - you can't increase the reward without increasing the risk.
