So you want to Hedge ?

As promised an update on hedging and how to get around the new NFA regulation regarding hedging.

What can you do to circumvent this new regulation due out May 15th-09

1/ Change to a non NFA regulated brokers.. Not the most favourable but perhaps the most obvious.

2/ Continue with your broker and inquire with support if in fact they have a branch outside of the US where you get keep your account and simply have it transferred. 

3/ Come to an agreement with a partner such as a wife and or husband and register another account and using both accounts you can use the hedging technique at your discretion.

4/ Last but certainly not least. Open a second account with your broker and use another identity.

There is good in bad with those kinds of decisions. Obviously a non NFA regulated broker could present challenges which you want to avoid. An NFA regulated broker provides some peace of mind and protection and attempt at least to keep broker honest and on the up and up. Wow I actually used Honest and Broker in the same sentence. LOL 

And finally just because a broker is NFA regulated does not necessarily mean things cannot go sour. It certainly adds a layer of protection from an investors perspective however the process is not entirely flawless.. 

Happy pipping,
