I already looked into this, the only way around it is to move to the Caribbean or wherever is most suitable to your liking and trade from there. I choose Aruba

I wouldn't trade full lots with only $2000 even with 200:1 leverage

I like obama, but I hate dodd and frank for this 50:1 margin they have reduced us to.

Eternal shame on Dodd-Frank, nothing but shame.

personally 50:1 is not a problem for me. I'm not even in the USA - and neither is my broker (MahiFX), i'm in Europe and I dont use higher leverage, as this is calculated into my risk. over the long term it has worked much better for me.
