    FINRA moves forward to limit Forex leverage

    In the nfa/cftc rule submitted to lower fx margin and cap it at 100-1 they see that is fair and anything lower would hamper business and they talk about if its lower then 100-1 business would move else where, overseas. They say the 400-1 is ridiculous which is true but they understand a traders...

    FINRA moves forward to limit Forex leverage

    If you read it now and when it came out in Januray, it is for FINRA firms or firms that are broker dealers.
