        <Name>The top facts you should know about NFA’s Rule 2-43 (b) (FIFO)</Name>
        <Summary>NFA's rules designed to help customers in the U.S. but some traders are confused at the new rules and what it all means</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;p&gt;The NFA recently imposed a rule (2-43 (b)) that will eliminate the ability of some dealers to offer stop-loss and limit orders. As a market-maker for forex, GFT is already fully compliant with this rule and will not be affected &amp;mdash; you will still be able to place stop and limit orders with us. &lt;/p&gt; 
  &lt;p&gt;Some dealers have gone as far as asking their customers to transfer their account overseas as to avoid the new NFA rule. At GFT, our customers can keep their account stateside and have full access to stop and limit orders through all DealBook&amp;reg; platforms.&lt;/p&gt; 
  &lt;p&gt;The new rule also eliminates &amp;quot;hedging,&amp;quot; which is really misunderstood when it comes trading currencies. Read &lt;a href="http://blogs.fxstreet.com/francesc/2009/05/27/nfa-rule-2-43-b-is-us-retail-fx-going-to-be-ever-the-same-gft-forex-gary-tilkins-view/"&gt;the reasons why here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; 
  &lt;p&gt;Finally, some forex dealers have recently experienced a decline in net capital. As world-leading company, GFT has $80 million in net capital, which greatly exceeds the NFA's minimum net capital requirement and is $20 million above the next largest U.S. forex dealer.&lt;/p&gt;
