    customer accounts would be subject to a 10-to-1 limitation
    Good afternoon
    I am writing to you to protest at the proposal to limit Forex Trading to a 10 to 1 leverage.
    I can't imagine what you hope to gain by this limitation; it is patently ridiculous, as it will prevent
    may small traders from Trading, thus adding to the unemployment statistics.
    You bureaucrats' are supposed to make sure that there is a safe environment to trade in, not
    stop trading altogether.
    I could understand if you were to stop the very high leverages which some brokers offer, but
    10 to 1 is nonsense.
    I suspect that you have had complaints' from persons who have lost money in Forex trading, in
    which case they have only them selves to blame. It is always made clear that Forex trading is
    risky.
    Unhappily there will always be those who think they are smarter than that, but will not listen.
    Regards
    Durham Bubb
