[B]The absurd proposal by the CFTC to limit leverage in forex to 1:10 is causing anger. Here’s how you act to stop it![/B]

If this proposal is implemented, it will practically kill the American forex industry, as traders will move their business elsewhere.

    Wow..already on FXCM in the micro contest we are severely handicapped with the competition who have access to 400:1 leverage where we in the US have 50:1. How is it we parade around as the only true "FREE" country and yet we don't ACT like it?? I must at the same time admit that I've been thinking about trading with 25:1 to experiment with that...but Honestly once I get more in the black I want as high a ratio as possible . . not like maybe .. Antarctica (South Pole) may have reasons to not allow beginners to have a serious negative cash flow out of the country (as beginners) (I'm thinking do PENGUINS trade Forex??).
