I often make use of "complex" investments for trades, including leveraged and inverse funds. No one is forcing me to make these decisions. I am capable of making these choices and am responsible enough to accept the consequences. I'm a small investor/trader and would be seriously hurt if you change the current rules. Please do not add unnecessary, complicated regulations to trading
The Direct Market Access Controls section of the 2019 Report on Exam Findings informs member firms’ compliance programs by describing recent findings and observations from FINRA’s examinations, and, in certain cases, also providing a summary of effective practices.
In both 2017 and 2018, FINRA issued Reports on Examination Findings in response to firms’ requests that we make publicly available a summary of key findings from FINRA’s examinations of member firms.

This is another rule that is supposed to be good for the retail investor but is awful for the retail investor. Like the $25,000 limit set to day trading, this is just another tactic to keep the average American unable to even get a chance to get out of the day to day drudgery of paycheck to paycheck. We need to pass a test to trade something we've been trading for years? Cryptocurrency funds
