    Regulation of retail Forex
    Dear Mr. Stawick:
    I strongly object to the proposal to limit retail forex trading to 10:1 leverage.
    I run several commercial "robots" for forex trading, and that proposed regulation will essentially
    put me out of business. I have to have at least 100:1 leverage to make it worth my while,
    considering all the time I have to invest in learning the business and running the robots.
    It's the responsibility of every robot trader like me to thoroughly test robots on demo accounts
    first, and then to run them live on micro accounts to limit our losses, anyone who doesn't know
    enough to do this deseerves to go out of business.
    I strongly object to the continuing efforts to create a cradle-to-grave "Nanny State" by the US
    Government.
    sincerely,
    Bruce Niss
