What's the logic behind CFTC proposals?

I read somewhere that the CFTC tried to ban stop loss and limit orders - what was the reason for that?

Whoever posted such a thing is flat out wrong. The CFTC hasn’t done anything regarding order types like that, and I seriously doubt has ever even thought to consider it. When the NFA imposed the “anti-hedging” and FIFO rules last year, some folks interpretted them to mean the end of stop and limit orders, but they were wrong. It only has to do with the accounting, not the actual trades.

Government agencies do things to make it appear they are fixing problems, when in fact, they are the source of problems.
