    Regulation of Retail Forex
    RIN 3038-AC61
    Dear CFTC,
    I'm a Swedish retail forex trader using Oanda to execute my trades. Your proposed changes could well be the blow
    of death to the US retail brokers as they would have a hard time competing on a global market for retail traders like
    myself. I choose a US broker for the well regulated and stable financial community the US has. If US brokers
    disappear I will be left with one choice less and that will hardly be of benefit to anybody, with the exception of less
    serious brokers located in various off shore places.
    Do you really want to force retail FX traders into the hands of these companies while at the same time hurting or
    potentially even wiping out your domestic retail FX brokers?
    Regards,
    o
