Good morning,
I am an individual trader and have accounts varying from $1,000 to $10,000. I opened a $1,000
account with a retail forex broker (GFT Forex) about a year and a half ago and happened to be
successful with my trading. If the proposed leverage changes go through, people like me will not
have access to this market anymore, taking away an amazing opportunity to diversify my
investments. Not to mention the fact that I have family in Europe and travel their several times per
year. While they are not business trips, forex trading still allows me to hedge my vacation over
there so I can buy my aunts, uncles and cousins more gifts.
I have no problem with change, change is good, but changing the leverage would wipe me out of
the market so that kind of change is not so good in my humble opinion.
Thanks for your time,
Hendrik de Vries
