Dear Sir / Madam
I have been an active forex trader for the last 2 years, I have spent many thousands of pounds on training
and I am just getting to the place where I am starting to make consistant profit and can start raising my
stake. I have mananged my risk over the last 2 years by being able to stake between $0.25 and $0.01 per
point with a fairly low account balance to cover the margin.. You reduced the leverage last year to 100:1
and luckily I have sufficient funds to handle this 400% increase in required margin.
To further reduce the leverage to 10:1 a tenfold reduction and a 1000% increase in leverage would mean
that the funds required for me to operate an account in the US would be too much, I would close all
accounts and have to trade purely from the UK.
You would be excluding the retail customers that surely this scheme is inteded for.
I hope that you listen as I have put a lot of time and money into this.
Kind Regards
Dave Barnett
