    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Dear Secretary,
    I am 100% in disagreement of the proposed 10:1 leverage rule for forex trading
    (RIN 3038-AC61).
    Anyone
    that is familiar with Forex trading knows that this leverage would make it very difficult, if not impossible, for the
    individual to trade. By the time a trader pays for a trade, the opportunity for profit would be very small. I am
    sure that this rule is being proposed to help or protect the trader but someone is not looking at it correctly. The
    current 100:1 rule is more than sufficient to allow an individual to make profit and still minimize risk.. A trader
    also has the opportunity to choose different leverage rules if they want to! I believe common sense has to
    prevail at some point, it doesn't need to be law. Please allow as to continue trading under the current
    leverage rule.
    Thank-you! R Cox-Tennessee
