Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

Discussion in 'Forex Brokers' started by forexsavior, Jun 28, 2007.

  1. FSA clerical staff are probably like any other pen-pushers, but despite them the FSA is effective and will (eventually) resolve anything which needs resolving once the complaint hits the right desk.

    The point is that funds are protected to a degree, no different than if a trader was trading futures.

    The safety of funds is an old argument put forward by the anti-spot brigade in favor of the futures market which is short of liquidity, it doesn't hold water though. I guess you can't blame them for trying but they need to change the record......that one's worn out :)

    The safety of funds is an old argument put forward by the anti-spot brigade in favor of the futures market which is short of liquidity,

    For small capital enough liquidity of
    most important pairs on CME

    As example to perform record attempt from 2000$ in 16000$ in one month

    For anothers# pairs clear spot have advantage over currency fx

    it doesn't hold water though. I guess you can't blame them for trying but they need to change the record.....

  3. (Try clicking the 'Quote' button when you answer a post, it makes reading you reply a bit easier and more understandable.)

    Multiple agencies can delay things even more, I can't see the benefits.

    You don't need the email address of an experienced 'FSA investigator', just submit your complaint and it will be dealt with by the appropriate department. They even have translators available so submitting your complaint in your native language would probably save any misunderstanding.

    'from 2000$ in 16000$ in one month' on a paper trading account isn't relevant when it comes to liquidity.


    *This is a very useful thread and I'm not going to clutter it up with unrelated chat, if you want to discuss it further then let's start another thread.

  4. FXDD Bows to the Savior!

    Six weeks ago I reported on the danger of trading with FXDD because they were the only forex firm in the United States that had neglected to get a license from the NFA.
    http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=97890&perpage=6&pagenumber=65

    Well it appears FXDD took my criticism to heart.

    All I can say is, it's about time! Count that as another victory for retail forex traders. The Savior's work goes on...

    ***********************************


    No any scientific evidence Sir in your opinion .Only wish
    to propagate this stil of trading ,which bring more
    money for broker/market maker through multiple
    operations under conditions "no edge for retail sector"


    military principle are -objective's ,offensive ,concetration

    Develop of weakness and concetrate effort
    Destroy enemy
    *****************************************

    You don't need the email address of an experienced 'FSA investigator', just submit your complaint

    No any dobut from experience of the author that USA and Germany authority worked in case's of the author better .

    **********************************************


    and it will be dealt with by the appropriate department. They even have translators

    Was no any demand in USA and Germany .
    ***************************************


    would probably save any misunderstanding.


    Secure(copy) communication with broker ,account balanse and each operation and resend real time to multiple experienced investigators from different agencies .

    From military point of view it is the best way.


    P.S. 'from 2000$ in 16000$ in one month' on a paper trading account isn't relevant when it comes to liquidity.


    Depend what you trade ec ,jy,bp on CME ,suspect liquidity is enough

  8. All Eyes on Washington

    The big news this week is the farm bill which is close to passing the House and Senate. Inside that farm bill are provisions that would require U.S. forex dealers to have a minimum adjusted net capital of $20 million in addition to requirements that all introducing brokers be registered with the CFTC.

    The big question is if Bush vetoes the bill will the Congress have enough votes to override his veto? According to this story the override vote will be a very close one:

    Of course, the forex provisions are a sideshow in this fight, which has become a fight primarily over farm subsidies. The $20 million capital requirement has been agreed upon by the powers that be. So now the question is not if, but when. A veto override means this capital requirement will be enforced by the end of the year for sure.

  9. Veto Override Likely

    According to Republican Senator Charles Grassley the Congress will have the votes to override a Bush veto of the farm bill.
    http://www.nationaljournal.com/congressdaily/cdp_20080513_6699.php

    It looks more and more like this bill is going to become law. I’m trying to dig up the actual language of the bill to find out the time frames the industry is going to get in order to comply with the law. I’ll have more tomorrow.

  10. House Passes Farm Bill

    House passes election-year farm bill
    By MARY CLARE JALONICK – 1 hour ago

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The House passed a $290 billion farm bill Wednesday with a strong veto-proof majority, offering more subsidies for farmers, food stamps for the poor and special projects that lawmakers can bring home to voters this election year.

    The 318-106 vote for the five-year bill came despite President Bush's promised veto. He says the measure is too expensive and gives too much money to wealthy farmers.

    About two-thirds of the bill would pay for nutrition programs such as food stamps and emergency food aid for the needy. An additional $40 billion is for farm subsidies while almost $30 billion would go to farmers to idle their land and to other environmental programs.

    Senators planned to begin debating the bill later Wednesday. A rejection of a Bush veto may be even easier in the Senate, where farm states have greater representation than they do in the House. Congress has only overridden one veto, on a water projects bill, during Bush's two terms.

    This measure is not perfect, said the chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, who believes it is balanced. "We've put a bill together that I think addresses what people are concerned about in this country," said Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn.

    Republicans, however, criticized the mostly bipartisan and popular bill because home-state projects added in an election year. The bill includes tax breaks for Kentucky racehorse owners, extra help for farmers in Hawaii and Alaska, and dollars for salmon fishermen in the Pacific Northwest.

    "This bill has been under consideration for a long, long time, and yet still we have earmarks that have been 'air dropped' into the legislation," said Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.

    Ahead of the House veto, Bush made his objections clear, noting that married farmers who make up to $1.5 million still could collect subsidies under the new farm bill. "I believe doing so at a time of record farm income is irresponsible and jeopardizes America's support for necessary farm programs," Bush said.
