A Reduction in Leverage
As of November 30, 2009, the NFA will implement amendments to the Financial Requirements Sections 11 and 12. The new amendments will require Forex Dealer Members ("FDMs") to collect a security deposit of 1% (100:1) of the notional value for specified currencies and 4% (25:1) of the notional value for all other currencies. The intended purpose of this new regulation is to protect over-leveraged traders and brokers alike.
