    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Dear Secretary,
    I am a retail forex investor and I would like to obj ect to the proposed regulation, reducing the leverage in
    the forex market from 100:1 to 10:1.
    This is for two reasons:
    1. Futures are allowed to have leverage higher than 10:1, and more importantly
    2. Leverage of 10:1 will increase the transaction cost per standard lot ($100,000).
    Isnt the regulation intended to protect the retail investors?
    Best regards, Kris
