The New Capital Requirements Takes Its Toll on New Forex Brokers

There has been a state of unrest amongst new Forex brokers owing to the fact that the NFA has pushed through an increased entrance barrier. This requires a higher capital for new Forex brokers which can be a problem for most, if not all.

However, the move to raise entrance barriers has its benefits if better understood by Forex brokers, new and old alike. The increase in entrance barriers serves beneficial for the industry of foreign exchange. Despite the increase, the move ensures that those who newly enter the industry still have sufficient resources remaining and still be financially stable. This is helpful since the capital market tends to be unstable. The move also ensures that brokers receive sufficient expertise to manage the risks that may be encountered by Forex brokers, both new and old.
