    To whom it concerns,
    I believe a 10:1 restriction on the FX currency pairs will be counterproductive. Have you considered that the only
    ones who will benefit are overseas brokers who will offer more flexible leverage. While I as a trader believe 100:1
    leverage is too much and would not leverage that much myself, however a margin of 50:1 is reasonable.
    If this (19:1 margin) becomes reality I will, as will many, switch my account to an overseas firm until this plays out
    completely.
    Thanks for your attention,
