DislikedI am a strong conservative by nature so I am against almost all forms of regulation.
However, it should be important to note that from a mathematical standpoint, individuals who use higher leverage have been known to "self-destruct".
I think that retail traders should use less leverage, but I don't think that it should be regulated into happening.Ignored
DislikedWow, nice letter, gotta love that chutzpah. When it comes to "free" market economy, few regulators and bureaucrats understand the concept of less is more. They are inherently miserable and cynical people, full of self-importance and jealousy/contempt for success-oriented individuals, who have the guts they never had, to go through the tough challenges, the ups and downs on the road to success. They remind me of a child, rudely interrupting in the middle of a grown-up conversation for some attention. Luckily we have the incredible power of demand...Ignored

DislikedWe may have to.
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
When the people fear their...Ignored

DislikedNo, and they shouldn't be. Let people do what they want. I'm against the 10:1 regulation.Ignored
Dislikedhe enters a trade purchasing a standard lot contract of 100,000 amount using 100:1 leverage but puts a stop loss order in place to limit risk at 30 pips and a limit order in place to secure profit at 100 pips. Basically he's risking $200Ignored
DislikedYour numbers are out of whack but you're right, leverage is a tool, and in the hands of the inexperienced it can be a dangerous tool as you've demonstrated in your examples.
I really don't know what all the fuss is about though, 10:1 should be sufficient for most traders who are adequately funded, it only becomes a problem for the underfunded trader who is attempting to produce unrealistic returns in the hope he can live off trading with only limited capital.Ignored

DislikedUnderfunded by whose rules? If someone has $100 and wants to trade minilots and make cents on that $100 who gives someone the right to take that away? Why should only people who already have money be able to make money? I am in the UK but trading with a US broker at the moment, but I will soon switch if this becomes the rule. What happened to the pioneering spirit of the US????Ignored
DislikedI can't wait for 10:1 to go into effect. It will help to get rid of all of these lottery mentality geniuses that have infected Forex. You can still take 1,000 dollars at 10:1 and turn it into a nice balance. There is no valid reason someone with a 1,000 account should be trading mini's or larger.Ignored
