    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Dear Secretary,
    It is my firm belief that a change in leverage to a limitation of 10 to 1 would hinder not only the US
    retail market for Forex but also hurt the small retail investor such as myself. I do not have much money
    but with proper risk management strategies I have been able to successfully trade Forex for almost a
    year now with much better success then trading stocks because of the high commissions relative to my
    small account size. Without the opporunitiy for myself as a small but knowledgeable investor to have
    access to higher leverage 1 would be forced to liquidate my Forex account with a US based company and
    move it a European based company where leverage is still available.
