    Regulation of Retail Forex
    This is to express my opposition to the proposed 10-1 limit on leverage in retail customers' accounts.
    Such a limit would unfairly disadvantage retail investors/traders relative to traders that trade on behalf of
    institutions. Moreover, a fair percentage of retail traders in fact bring institutional or professional
    experience to their trade, thus rendering the 'retail' designation somewhat specious.
    Thank you.
