    Proposed Forex changes
    To Whom it may concern,
    Iam a Forextrader. I have been trading fora few years now, and although I lost money at first,
    I've now been able to find a way to use forex to supplement my income. Any changes to the
    leverage system would prevent me from being able to trade in any significant way. I knowa few
    others that would be in the same situation. When Iwas unemployed, my trading was the only way
    I could help provide for my family. If we had been denied the chance to make a little money in
    forexwe'd have needed to file for bankruptcy. Instead we made it through, I'm employed again,
    and we have gotten a loan to buy our home.
    Please reconsider any changes to leverage as it would not accomplish any prevention of loss of
    funds. I know, I was one who lost in the forex market at one time. I continued to learn and now I
    can make money- I'd love to continue to do so. However, my account size would prevent me from
    even trading- let alone providing income.
    Regards,
    Michael Boofer
