    Leverage reduction from 100:1 to 10:1.
    Dear Sir,
    This proposed idea of reducing the leverage amount in forex from 100:1 going to 10:1 is a bad idea. It
    would kill the market in trading forex in this country for us individual traders. Being an individual
    investor, I can trade with a smaller amount than the corporate investors and still compete with them in
    the forex market because of the 100:1 leverage available to me.
    From the retail, individual investor, point of view. I strongly recommend not changing the proposed
    leverage rate from 100:1 to 10:1.
