    Will there be a way to watch this event after it takes place, i.e. not live?

    Thanks!

    I almost feel as though my “rights” have been taken away. It’s time to start fighting back.

    This is insane! Are we becoming a communist country? Wait, even communist countries let their people trade so I don’t know what this is. If we write to the CFTC can they retaliate on the individual who voiced their opinion to them?

    I have no objection to greater regulation of the retail forex market. In particular, I want to see more stringent regulation re: spreads, market pricing and price manipulation through requotes and of course the elimination of stop hunting.
    However, I am totally against the limitations proposed re leverages. Even when a firm offers high leverage the client can always choose to trade in very small lots, down to 0.01 of a lot in some cases.
    So, why is there a need for statutory impositions of limits.
