    Regulation of Retail Forex
    RIN 3038-AC61
    This will be the end of the Forex trading through US-based brokers. Millions of retail traders' messages
    will fall on deaf ears, because this is nothing more than an extension of the out-of-controh beaurocratic
    micro-management that pervades the US these days. I doubt that even a concerted effort by US-based
    brokers will 'enlighten' them. And, if the brokers find ways around it (like they're doing for the
    FIFO\anti-hedging rules); there will be too many holes for traders' potential profits to fall through - and
    the smart ones will go abroad - sooner, rather than, later. I am
    against your proposal.
