    Question
    OK SO I AM JUST EMAILING TO GIVE A LOOK INTO ,MY SITUATION. I AM 23 YEARS OLD
    AND HAVE BEEN TRADING FOREX ON THE RETAIL SIDE FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A
    HALF. I HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT GAINS IN THAT PAST YEAR OR SO AND I AM
    HEAVILY OPPOSED TO THE NEW PROPOSED REGULATIONS ON LEVERAGE POWER. I
    REALIZE LEVERAGE CAN BE JUST AS HARMFUL AS IT IS HELPFUL, BUT FOR ME,
    STARTING MY ACCOUNT OUT WITH A MERE $2500.00 1 WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE
    TO REAP OVER A 100% PROFIT WITH THE PROPOSED NEW RULES. PEOPLE ARE MORE
    THAN ADEQUATELY WARNED OF THE DANGERS OF LEVERAGE ON EVERY FOREX SITE I
    HAVE BEEN TO. I AM JUST SAYING I AM SEVERELY OPPOSED TO THESE NEW
    REGULATIONS, AND I ALONG WITH ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WILL MOVE THEIR
    ACCOUNTS TO AN OFFSHORE BROKERAGE IF THESE NEW CHANGES TAKE AFFECT.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. - PETER MCMANUS
