I have just got the message from FXDD that they are switching to full compliance with NFA as far as margin and backoffice records are concerned

FXDD’s back office is compliant with all CFTC and NFA regulations regarding hedging and FIFO. Also, leverage will be adjusted to comply with NFA regulations [...]

Leverage will be set at 100:1 for major currencies; all others will have a leverage of 25:1. The only currencies affected by the 25:1 will be the USD/TRY and the USD/MXN. Gold and silver leverage will be set at 100:1 We urge you to examine your positions now and determine if and how the change in leverage will affect you.

Which means that they will not be a preferred broker for RM and GT any more as from what I remember the EAs author does not recommend 100:1 leverage.
Also I do not know what to make of:

FXDD’s back office does not recognize hedging. FXDD’s back office is a position based system and all opposing orders are offset immediately. Going forward the official FXDD account statements will show opposite positions being offset immediately. Please note: this change will not affect your trading style and will not affect your EA if you use one.

Is it the time to say goodbye to FXDD?
