I can't believe that this practice is actually considered legal in what is supposed to be a
This attempt at limiting my ability to invest and trade is outrageous. This is regulatory over reach that assumes we are unable to make our own informed decisions about our investment portfolios. Please consider that my family and I should be able to choose unfettered, which investments are best for us. We should not be burdened with a special and arbitrary process.

I was an advisor with a series 65. Some of my clients were knowledgeable some not. There is no doubt that FINRA has some good regulatory laws but guys this is a huge over reach. It is not your job to protect me against myself. This is play money not retirement money. Even if ten or twenty percent of my retirement money was in derivatives that is none of your business.
