    Regulation of Retail Forex
    I would like to lodge my opposition to the proposed regulation of a retail account down to a 10:1 risk
    level. While I agree that leverage levels have gotten out of control in the previous decade, it should be
    up to the individual investor to weigh their own risk. 100:1 limit is sufficient and reasonable leverage for
    trading. Do not force those that are able to manage their risks levels down to a level of those that chose
    not to learn and educate themselves. All of the recent changes are driving more and more of our
    investing dollars away from our shores and into the hand of foreigners. Please do not regulate us into
    oblivion.
    Sincerely,
    Larry New
