    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Dear Sir,
    I am writing to voice my concern over the proposed new bill to reduce the leverage from 100:1 to 10:1 on retail
    forex accounts.
    If successful, this bill will prevent many of the smaller retail traders from making a living. I've spent the past six
    years developing the skills required to trade for a living and now I've achieved my goal I find the regulators
    are proposing changes which will reduce my ability to make an income from the capital I have managed to save.
    I sincerely hope that you will reconsider imposing such restrictions on the retail forex market. I realize that the bill
    is intended to protect investors but I feel the effect will be quite the opposite.
    Yours faithfully,
    David Sutton
