    Regulation of Retail Forex
    RIN
    3038-AC61
    Your proposal that leverage for retail forex in the U.S. be set at 10:1 is based on unrealistic expectations in my
    opinion. Rather than limit the investor risk, it will force people to go off-shore with their accounts and their trading
    shops. We've already had enough of government policy shifting jobs off-shore. The proposed regulation is a highly
    restrictive and discriminatory position against retail customers which limits trading choices. For the new investor
    who stays with an account in the U.S. it just raises the risks by forcing them to open bigger accounts and trade in
    larger lots.
