    FOREX TRADING
    Dear Secretary,
    I normally never get involved, but this time I need to. I am against any changes to forex trading rules
    concerning leverage.
    People lose money trading forex not because of leverage
    but due
    to making
    losing trades, just like stocks, ect. When proper cash management of 2% of an account and stop
    looses are used, a person can trade successfully. This will only effect the everyday day person- us
    small people. I do not have $5,000 or $10,000 to put in an account. These micro accounts are the
    only way us little traders have any hope of making any money.
    If this passes, I will loose my ability of making the extra money to help me thru this great
    recession.
    By the way, profits trading are TAXED!!!!! So the government will lose the capital gains paid on my
    profits, if I don't trade.
    I URGE YOU NOT PASS ANY CHANGES REGARDING LEVERAGE!!!!!
