Proposed NFA Capital Requirement

  1. FXCM Buys I Trade FX

    Looks like I Trade FX is throwing in the towel. With the NFA fining them $250,000 over the Olint affair and the $20 million capital requirement set to kick in I Trade FX is officially calling it quits: http://www.forexfactory.com/news.php?do=news&id=166975

    The U.S. industry consolidation should continue in the months to come as cap increases and a battery of new regulations continue to squeeze the market. Next up, CFTC Net Capital report for March.

  2. Nope, he's still a fool, but he's one lucky fool to have such stupid clients to manage otherwise he probably wouldn't have a job!

  4. NFA Delays Ban on Stops/Limits

    Francesc at FX Street is hearing that the NFA’s rule banning the use of stops/limits as part of the NFA’s new FIFO edict will not be enforced until July 31st:

    Never a dull moment in the U.S. forex market.

  5. It is not nice to wish people to come under any harm, but if there were any individuals who deserved to suffer the most horrific fate possible, NFA would fit the bill nicely.

    So let me get this straight: I am a position trader so if I put in a position at 10pm ET and go to sleep I will not have any protection(stop orders?) or If I suspect that the session's maximum point will be achieved during odd hours (3am) I won't be able to set a limit order to take profits? So that means to trade forex I will have to be glued to the screen the whole night?

    I hope those idiots don't mess with leverage (but I suspect they will try)I will have to start looking at offshore brokers.

  7. What I don't get is why? They are obviously trying to gut the industry. Are they mad that there may be an outflow from Stocks/Options and maybe even futures to forex? One of the highlights of forex is leverage. You take out leverage and what is the point?

    Stop and limit orders should be a basic right (they exist everywhere else why not on forex?)
