Off topic the CFTC has introduced a new regulation for a decrease on retail forex leverage to 10:1. You have 60 days to make comments. You may be thinking thats fine I'll just open a an fx account overseas. But if we let it start here it will most likey eventually reach everywhere. As well as all the inconvenecies off an offshore broker. Imagine the margine requirement for GBP/USD at $2,860 for $1 a pip. A standard lot being $28,600.
