    Leverage in retail Foreign Exchange
    Hello,
    I am voicing my opinion against the proposed R1N 3038-AC61 tightening of leverage requirements for
    froex traders. I keep my account small and use the money I make in the FOREX market for extra
    expenses. I cannot afford to leave large sums of capital in a FOREX account because of 10-1..m..~.r.g.i..n.
    .r.~.q9.i..r.~..m..~..n.~t.s
    ..
    This will eliminate thousands of home office traders and US retail forex companies, and
    worsen the already struggling job market in the United States.
    Please leave margin requirements at 100-1 so more investors can participate in the World Currency
    markets..
    Thank you.
