Everyone thinks that they get thousands of emails every day. Did you send one? Do you know anyone that has? They cannot get those thousands of emails if you do not send them. However naive an idea it may be, they are supposed to catalog and post each one here http://www.cftc.gov/lawandregulation/federalregister/federalregistercomments/2010/10-001.html Right now I only count 69 comments. If you really think it is a bad idea, take two minutes and send an email. It won't cost you anything to send it, but not sending in your comments may cost you a great deal more down the road.
Thanks for posting that link.
I did check, and my comment is there - page 412 (of 538) of the comments posted on Jan 20th.

you've really searched for you comment among the 5000'ish comments there? must have taken you a couple of hours.. 😱
interesting to see such a low number of mails they've received..i would expect at least 50,000 mails..maybe they haven't published them all? or might it be that most traders don't care if this rule goes through or not?

I guess a lot of affected USA traders left already after the 100:1 leverage downgrade by NFA. So only the desperate rest of the gang wrote them. Adios America!
BTW Even not be punished by the new rules, I'm a free😝 European citizen, I wrote them twice and they published it as well

Didn't take very long at all. I knew which day that I sent my comment; just opened the document for that day and then did a search for my name.
BTW, not that it will probably do any good, but I'm going to send the same comment to my two senators and our lone congresswoman - not that I have any respect for any of the three, but just as one more 'dog in the fight'.

It looks that some brokers saw the writ on the wall. FXDD is moving their European clients accounts to FXDD Malta...
They started to prepare for it in December 2009.

Let's hope that they will be as reliable as FXDD New York...

If they carry on like FXDD New York IMO they'll be closed pretty soon by the MFSA. Even though I had an account with them which has now been moved to Malta I don't rate them highly but I can now be on their doorstep within 30 minutes most of the year. And the MFSA's complaint desk even quicker!

Guys the CFTC ruling will apply to liquidity providers, of which at least half is US. There no hiding in Europe or elsewhere.The CFTCF does this we're all going to be affected.

I'm curious as to why you don't rate FXDD highly and use the term 'carry on'.
I have been with FXDD for several years and haven't had any serious issues with them. Please expound.

Biggest complaint is stop hunting http://goo.gl/GUdc My account is still open with them but I don't use it much.
Many cash FX firms are on the other side of your trade, and with that model, seek to profit dollar for dollar from your losses, just like a casino. In fairness, they're all much of a muchness. I could name others and ones that I regard highly but we're already off topic and for that, I apologise.
