DislikedI was never the 50:1 that bothered most people (of course I have decided I will speak for "most people")....Ignored
fair enough, but the thread was "thoughts on 50:1 leverage" not "thoughts on CFTC".
Let's be honest, majority of retail traders are very stupid when it comes to trading Spot FX. If that wasn't the case, would things be different? I don't know...
Also, although some crap came out of it, some good has come out of the regulations as well. Retail Bucketshops are under a tighter leash and I'm not hearing about the old school retail broker manipulation as much anymore (not to be confused with market manipulation). Feeds have gotten way better, etc...
