Comment on Proposed Regulations Regarding Retail FOREX Transactions
Sir,
With regard to r~N 3038-AC61.
As a trainer and trader with some 6 years experience in the retail forex market, I concur that regulation is necessary with regard to certain brokerage practices and is well overdue.
However I have to register my strong disagreement with the leverage limit percentage being downgraded to 10 to 1 maximum leverage.
In my considered opinion this limit is far too low and would mean thousands of current small traders
leaving the market. A sensible and workable leverage maximum would be 50 to 1, and I respectfully ask
you to consider this alternative. It is right and proper to limit the excessive leverage offered by
unscrupulous brokers, but at a limit of 10 to 1 this is surely a case of throwing the baby out with the
bathwater?
Yours Sincerely
Mr S. Wyeman
