    Regulation of Retail Forex
    I think regulation of the forex market is a good and needed thing. However making the leverage down to 10:1
    may be a bit extreme. I only began live trading in August of last year and have been a profitable trader.
    Personally I elect to use a 30:1 leverage with my broker. I really don't see why anyone would even want a
    leverage above 50:1 but with improper cash management people will blow their accounts regardless of leverage.
    I just urge you to consider a higher leverage than 10:1. Some of us out here that know what we are doing and
    this is our living due to the current economic situation; this lower leverage would hurt our trading strategy.
    Thank you
