Because even small banks are required to have a Volcker Rule Policy in place by July 21st, I'm reaching out to see if anyone has written one and would be willing to share. Thanks

Since the regulators haven't defined what is an acceptable trade, how can you write a policy to comply with a rule that is not written.

Right, so what is a proprietary trade? Until they clearly define that, good luch showing good faith. That will change with each examiner. Someone who agrees with Levin will believe every trade is proprietary while someone who agrees with one of the law firms will believe most trades are hedges.
