    Regulation of Retail Forex'
    Hello, this e-mail is in reference to R1N 3038-AC61 :
    I am a forex trader and I received an e-mail regarding a proposed 10:1 margin instead of 100:1 margin in
    FOREX.
    I want to let the CFTC to know that 10:1 margin is not going to work and it is not going to protect the
    forex trading public.
    Many brokers that operates in the US already offers a non-US account that way the trader doesn't have
    to abide the CFTC rules.
    I myself will be considering to open a UK based broker account if the 10:1 margin for US brokers
    passed. That means the US based brokers
    will lose a lot of customers if this proposal passed.
