Investment restrictions on leveraged products should not have significant restrictions. A simple age-based (e.g. 25 0r 30 years old) and/or small investable assets requirement (e.g. $25,000) along with attesting to reading a warning statement regarding possible losses should be the MAXIMUM restriction. Please do NOT limit to "high net worth" (this does not necessarily potend an investor's knowledge level or perceived ability to assume the risk).
