Regulation of Retail Forex
i have read you proposed changes due to the level of claimed fraud in the industry, and i do agree
that there needs to be more transparency in this market. However, as a retail forex traider, Kl=l=p
YOUR HANDS OFF MY LEVERAGE!!!
While i do agree that there are many who over leverage themselves, that CHOICE should be up to
the trader, not a company or bureaucrat. If you wish to implement variable account leverage from
10-1 up to 50-1, or even to 100-1, which can be selected by
the account holder,
i believe you
would find support in the forex community. But if the proposed mandatory maximum of 10-1 is
implemented, you will see the forex community move their money off shore to non-us regulated
brokers as we did when the anti-hedging rules were put into effect (another stupid idea aimed
against the interests of the trader).
Thank you for your time,
Jim
