    Regulation of Retail Forex
    RIN 3038-AC61
    dear sir
    /
    maddam,
    First of all i would like to say that this regulation doesn't affect me directly because I'm Spanish so I trade with
    European brokers. But I have to say that this regulation is "over regulation" I have been trading for a while and I
    have used many brokers, also americans, and I have traded up to 400:1 leverage (in my opinion nobody should
    trade with that much leverage). In fact I think this leverage should be banned. In my opinion a experienced
    dealer can handle a 100:1 leverage properly.
    I would say that regulation should go against Forex Brokers, specially those ones that promise huge profitability
    in few days. that is when naive unexperienced investors lose money.
    Also I would like to say that a regulation like that can affect seriously USD price because probably most of the
    small and middle sized investors will move their money to European or Asiatic brokers.
    sincerly yours,
