In recent years, the foreign exchange (“FX”) market has drawn increased attention due to the huge growth in public interest.  With forex regulators now noticing this growing trend, they have tried to slow it down by lowering leverage. In theory, by lowering leverage in forex, investors will be more protected against risk and loss. Though this is partly true, low leverage also HURTS the yields for forex traders and investors. Since this is such an important issue, we have provided a forex video to educate our readers. Before we get to it, let’s take a look at some of the key points below.

Key Points of Forex Leverage Video

1.  Forex Investors and Traders have been Weary of Increased Regulation in the FX Markets
2.  Legislation has Lowered FX Leverage to 100:1, and Now Trying to Make it 10:1 in Forex
3.  The Regulated USA FX Brokers are Setting Up Offshore Offices to Keep High Leverage Available
4.  Foreign FX Brokers doing Business in the USA can Still Offer Higher Leverage to FX Investors and Traders
5.  The NFA has a Goal of Protecting Investors, and is Regulating FX Leverage to the Lower Risk of Loss

As you’ll see in the video, there is really nothing to worry about. Though forex leverage may decrease to 10:1 within the USA, the offshore FX markets will not be affected.  This will still allow traders to take advantage of high leverage, as long as their working with FX brokers outside the USA.
