    Retail Forex Regulation
    The amount of leverage I choose to use is a private matter between
    myself and my broker. Mind your own business, CFTC, and leave people
    free to manage their own accounts as they desire. Limiting leverage to
    10:1 in retail FX will not protect people from poor risk management
    practices which cause the ultimate destruction of their accounts. This
    leverage limitation will not even necessarily slow the rate at which
    new traders' accounts are wiped out. CFTC, please call upon your
    rationality, for once, and cease proposing to impose leverage
    limitations on retail forex traders.
