Regulation of Retail Forex
Dear Sir,
I am writing in regards to RIN 3038-AC61 and the proposed regulations of retail foreign exchange
trading.
My main concern is that retail forex accounts would be subject to a 10:1 leverage
requirement. Changing the margin requirement would make it more difficult for individual traders
(independent small business) to earn a living or add extra income. In economic times such as these the
government should not be making it more difficult to earn a living by making capital requirements more
strict.
The margin requirement change would effectively make it impossible for people with lower
capitalization to trade. I believe this the change would be a mistake.
Thanks for your consideration,
Tobin Glover
