Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am a young german Daytrader and do this job very well, I started with that kind of trading just to months ago with a small account. Already now, I am a very good trader, cause I am with a great mentor. Due to the great success of mine, I planed to become a full time trader and do this job for living. Unfortunately I am still undercapitalized for the new Margin Rule for Daytraders, cause I started with less than 5000 USD, due to the strong Dollar against the Deutsche Mark. The new rule for Margin Accounts is the death blow to me, as a trader, my planed business, my dreams, my independence, dont call your country as a land of liberty. Thanks so much ! Mario Jaehn
