    commenter_subj ect: Regulation of Retail Forex
    commenter_comments: The current proposal from the CFTC on the
    regualation of retail forex that would raise
    leverage from 100:1 to 10:1 should be rejected and
    defeated! Such a proposal would devastate the small
    retail investor like myself who properly manages
    his account to avoid large draw downs in equity.
    This proposal would result in many investors being
    thrown out of the market all together and would see
    others needlessly risking capital to meet these
    ridicuclous requirements.
    Brokers already limit the trade/point size that can
    be opened based on an individual's account equity.
    Traders of any size need to practice responsibility
    and discipline on knowing how much to risk and be
    educated on stop placement. But if they are not,
    this is their issue to deal with-not the rest of
    us! It is insulting and unnecessary to punish the
    millions of other responsible traders who do
    proactice good money management!
    REJECT THIS PROPOSAL!
