    secretary
    against 10:1 proposal
    CFTC Representative,
    I'd like to voice my dissent for the current
    10:1
    leverage change proposal for the Forex market. Given the financial
    climate of our day, I believe that some changes are necessary within the markets in general- however, this
    prospective change would be sweeping, short sided, and non-productive. It would not protect consumers, rather it
    would propel them into foreign markets (UK, Australia, etc). (thereby advantaging foreign countries instead of the
    US). A move such as this would not only be inconvenient to US persons (as they would then need to have foreign
    accounts to accomplish the same ends as before), but also demonstrate a backwards, unfocused, and non sensical
    approach to regulatory bodies in other countries. As a trader in the Forex market, as well as an employee of a Forex
    broker, I may be effected by this proposal on a couple of different sides.
    Please consider the overall ramifications of this prospective change before taking such sweeping action. Thank you
    for your time and consideration.
    Best regards,
    Matt Schneider
