- CFTC law makers upset with the 1:10 Leverage Leverage In financial trading, leverage is a loan supplied by a broker, which facilitates a trader in being able to control a relatively large amount of money with a significantly lesser initial investment. Leverage therefore allows traders to make a much greater return on investment compared to trading without any leverage. Traders seek to make a profit from movements in financial markets, such as stocks and currencies.Trading without any leverage would greatly diminish the potential rewards, so traders In financial trading, leverage is a loan supplied by a broker, which facilitates a trader in being able to control a relatively large amount of money with a significantly lesser initial investment.

Traders seek to make a profit from movements in financial markets, such as stocks and currencies.Trading without any leverage would greatly diminish the potential rewards, so traders Read this Term proposal - Looks like finally forex brokers' lobbying bears fruits: Dow Jones reports that several lawmakers at a House Agriculture farm commodities subcommittee hearing Wednesday grilled CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler about a provision in the commission's proposal that would restrict retail forex investors to a 10 to 1 leverage ratio, thereby forcing them to post much higher collateral. "I don't get what we are trying to accomplish here by lowering this to 10 to 1," said House Agriculture Chairman Collin Peterson (D., Minn), saying the proposal appears to put investors' money even more at risk. "Who are you trying to protect here?" Can we answer that and say: why, the Futures industry of course.
- More problems at ACM? Following many speculative reports about an internal rift at ACM which became evident after the founding CEO Lloyd La Marca has 'disappeared' from ACM's website fxstreet's Francesc now reports that Lloyd wasn't the only partner to go: Alexandre Axarlis seems to have left his post as a director as well. It seems that out of the three founding partners only Nicholas Bang has remained.
- On a positive note though ACM just launched a Russian Ruble as a USDRUB pair which makes an interesting trading instrument though I'm curious how exactly they liquidate this uncommon and not very traded pair.
