    "Regulation of Retail Forex"
    Dear Mr. Secretary:
    I strongly object to the proposed further regulation of the U.S. Foreign Exchange trading by
    limiting the maximum leverage to 10:1. The disclaimers and disclosures required are enough to
    warn the trading public about the risks of trading this market.
    This further constriction of the free market system is unwarranted. The retail trader depends on
    the leverage ata higher level to be able to execute trades and makea profit. Iviewthis proposed
    action as an attempt to force the little guy out of the market, and most likely make the trader try
    to make more trades, which will ultimately only benefit the broker and market makers by giving
    them more transaction costs.
    I suggest the continued warnings and disclosures, and having the FTA help the new traders with
    educational seminars to further educate the new traders in trading, and money
    management, rather than forcing them from the market.
