    Fo rex Leve rag e
    Dear Sir
    I have just read about a proposal to restrict the forex market leverage to 10:1.
    Iama retail trader who has spenta lot of time and effort learning the forex market it's risks as
    well as it's rewards, I would like to say this move would be catastrohic for people like me who
    trade in this market and understand fully the concept of leverage.
    I fully appreciate the need for controls given the current worldwide economic situation but to target
    this at this time does not return maximum benfit to the majority.
    There are institutions who market forex as a get rich quick scheme with the downside and I think
    these are the areas which need to be controlled and which would benefit the retail trading
    community globally.
    Regards
