    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Dear Sir / Madam,
    I believe all traders, especially the small traders (average citizens --- average only have $5,000 to $10,000 capital
    in the Forex trading), should have the right to choose the amount of leverage that is appropriate for his/her risk
    appetite. Especially in the Forex market small trader would NEVER lost more than what he/she invested in. It is not
    like in the Real Estate investment which the invester borrow money from the lending institutions. Thus if he / she
    made the wrong investment choice, the money he borrow with high leverage will be lost more than he/she originally
    invested in.
    If the proposed 10 to 1 leverage is imposed on the Forex traders, you just as well to eliminate Forex trading for
    millions of small Forex traders.
    I urge you to leave the leverage of Forex Trading to 100 to 1. So many of us small Forex Traders will still have a
    chance to earn our money through the Forex Market.
    Respectfully yours,
    Gilbert Lum
