Years back I uses to trade forex through Oanda, still have a small account with them, too lazy to close it Anyway, got an email this morning that all US retail traders will only be able to trade gold/silver on full 1:1 margin due to Dodd/frank bill effective as of July 15th. Wtf???? It does not affect me, but this is very wrong. Could it spread further???
Dodd/Frank restricts over-the-counter commodities trading (but not exchange traded futures of course).
