    Regulation of Retail Forex (Margin Change)
    With increased risk can come increased gain. The reason we trade the forex is because it allows us to
    take increased risks and therefore allows increased gains. Please do not clamp down the forex market to
    middle class Americans.
    Changing the 100:1 margin to 10:1 forces forex traders to come up with 10 times the capital to make the
    same gains they are accustomed to. This forces us to either accept smaller gains/losses or to put more of
    our capital on the line,
    increasing
    the amount of cash we can lose in the market.
