    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I am not in the favour of 10:1 leverage as proposed by CFTC. Most of us have managed the
    risk and the leverage very well. All I know is this that my account has not been wiped out in the last 15
    months and I am waiting to recover the losses as the market turns around. If CFTC changes the leverage
    to 10:1, then all my account will be wiped out immediately.
    Therefore, I propose that if CFTC is hell bent on changing the leverage to 10:1 then it should be applied
    on new trades not on open positions. I have survived with 100:1 leverage, please do not ruin my savings
    and earnings by this new regulation. If 10:1 leverage has to
    be applied, then please do not let it affect the current open positions.
    I thank you for your kind considerations.
    Habib Choudry
