    1155 21st Street, N.W.,

    Dear Mr. Stawick:
    Just a brief letter to voice my concern to reduce the leverage in retail forex customer accounts to 10:1 (identification number
    RIN 3038-AC61).
    I believe that all traders should have the right to choose the amount of leverage that is appropriate for his/her risk appetite,
    and that this basic principle of 'choice' is being threatened by the proposed CFTC regulations.
    This said, I opposed the proposed leverage regulation in retail forex accounts from 100:1 to 10:1.
    Thank you very much for your kind attention to this letter.
    Yours truly,
    Juan Cantor
