    Regulation of Retail Forex Market
    Good
    Morning:
    I'm writing to express my opposition to the proposed regulation to limit leverage in the retail forex
    market. I'm an individual investor, and my future income depends on my ability to trade this
    market.
    1) I'm an adult and capable of making my own decisions regarding my money. I don't need
    government regulations to tell me the danger of trading with larger leverage. Let me make my
    own decisions about how I trade my money.
    2) Reducing leverage will send even more trader accounts overseas - I already know traders
    who have done this based on rumor of this regulation. U.S dollars leaving the country is not a
    good thing for the country.
    3) Many people make a good living in the 4X market and pay taxes based on that money. If
    you regulate the market, you will reduce tax dollars going into the U.S. treasury. Our deficit is bad
    enough without this regulation reducing tax dollars.
    Best regards,
    Lea Ward
