Regulation of Retail Forex
To whom it may concern
Your announcement on January 13, 2010 that you are seeking public comment on the proposed regulations:
"leverage in retail forex customer accounts would be subject to a 10-to-1 limitation" would be, in my opinion, a
colossal error.
The reason I believe that this would be such a grave mistake is that Forex traders will leave in droves to foreign
brokers if they want to continue to trade. I believe also that domestic brokers will lose a substantial amount of
their business, thus their tax revenue. I cannot for the life of me understand why the US Government continues to
stifle domestic Forex brokers and send business to our overseas competitors with their knee jerk decisions.
I do know that I will be moving all my accounts overseas to a foreign broker if this regulation does take place.
Sincerely,
Lee Ford
