    Regulation of Retail Forex
    David Stawick and the CFTC:
    With the potential new regulations being put in place for
    foreign exchange trading I wanted to make my feelings clear. I have
    absolutely no problem whatsoever with registering brokers and having
    an expectation of minimal capital from brokers. I do however have a
    real problem with the new proposal of a maximum leverage of 10:1.
    There is absolutely no reason to regulate how much someone could or
    couldn't leverage. That is between the trader and their banking
    institution. The leverage rule is a overregulating. I would be
    deeply disappointed to see that put into effect. Leave the American
    people to decide how much they want to risk their own money.
    Sincerely,
    Scott Beyer
