    100:1 leverage is good for me as I have rigid rules on losses. Currently the forex
    brokerages also have margin mechanisms in place whereby they will take you out
    of a trade prior to the trade becoming a problem of owing more than is in an individual's
    account.
    I fail to understand why you are so set on throwing so many retail forex traders out
    of trading alltogether as this is exactly what your new 10:1 proposal will do.
    Why don't you just leave us alone and go after the thieves you continually back up
    on Wall Street?
    The fall-out of your proposal will be for (even more) individual forex retail traders to either
    leave the country or just trade with a foreign company.
    I will be one of those traders who takes his business overseas if this 10:1 leverage is passed!!
    I currently enjoy working through GFT here in the United States but will leave them in
    the blink of an eye if this new proposal passes.
    It seems you are dead set on destroying American retail forex brokerages - well done!!
