    new marcjin and rules
    Dear Madams, Sirs
    I would like to express my concerns and the concerns of my fellow traders on our trading firms and communities
    that implementation of the new margin rules could be end of our trading activity and money flow into the
    economy of the US
    Without a decent leverage of 1:100, normal daytrading on the cash markets for a decent profit which can cover
    our wages and company costs will cease to exist. As the liquidity of the US is big in this market and many
    companies are living from it, less participants could cause heavy fluctuations and destabilization of the whole
    cash market and its related Futures. Furthermore there are no arguments for a deleveraging of Forex trading
    which would benefit the financial system. Nobody is unhappy with the current cash market. Therefore I would
    like the CFTC to reconsider such regulation.
    With best regards,
    JW Jager
    CEO United-Traders
