    Dear CFTC Secretary,
    This small note refers to your recent proposal to restrict the leverage for trading retail forex to 10:1. I have been
    trading forex for the last few months and my ability to participate in such trading was only due to the favourable
    leverage of 100:1 or 200:1. As a result of your proposal to limit the leverage to 10:1, small traders like me will
    have to keep away from trading thereby reducing the liquidity of the forex market by whatever percentage.
    I request you to reconsider your proposal, especially in light of the fact that countries like UK are permitting higher
    leverage, Hedging etc. Best Regards,
    L.L.Mayuranath
