    Regulation of Retail Forex
    RE: RIN3038-AC61
    DearCFTC,
    I am a Forex retail customer with an American Forex Retail broker. I recently learned of the a proposal
    to change the leverage/margin aspects of retail Forex accounts. I wish to voice that I am a~gainst this
    proposal. In the aftermath of the economic woes brought on partly by loosely regulated and "out of
    control" banking/trading methods, I understand that regulations are needed to control abuse of the past.
    However, this proposal will be too extreme and will limit or eliminate individual traders and investors in
    participating in a progressive way to generate income, which in turn goes back into the economy. Please
    do not consider the path of regulation to this extreme.
    Thank you for your attention in this matter.
    Sincerely,
    Brian Beckman
