Forex | Forex Traders Have A Little More Time

Sunday, October 10th, 2010

Last week, we continued our series of podcasts on the new CFTC forex rules. We focus on how these new rules affect investment managers (CTA and CPO), introducing brokers (IB) and foreign banks. Click here to listen to our Sept. 30, 2010 podcast (streaming mp3 file 78:00 length).

We answer a key question about whether a U.S. retail forex trader can trade on a non-RFED registered foreign platform after the Oct. 18 registration due date (90 days after Dodd-Frank Fin Reg enactment). Good news: The CFTC told us foreign financial institutions (banks) who are not supposed to register as RFEDs with the CFTC but rather with bank regulators are subject to the 360-day deadline in Dodd-Frank. That means U.S. retail forex traders can trade on non-registered foreign bank forex platforms until July 16, 2011.

Gaining an extra 270 days to trade on a non-registered foreign bank platform can help many retail forex traders who are not otherwise ready to begin trading under the new CFTC rules, which include 50:1 margin on majors, 20:1 margin on minors, the hedging rule and no FDIC, SPIC or segregation protection. Who knows: If Republicans take control of Congress in the November 2010 midterm elections, perhaps they will water down some excess in Dodd-Frank Fin Reg. Many forex traders think the CFTC’s current posture for extraterritorial reach is a little excessive, and we agree.
