Regulation of Retail Forex
RIN 3038-AC61
Trading forex is always going to be a risky investment. However, it does provide the potential
for great earnings. Instead of a blanket limit on leverage ratios, please consider permitting
higher leverage ratios for lower account sizes. For example, perhaps it makes sense to limit
leverage for an account with $1,000,000 or more in order to limit systemic risk, but small
individual traders do not constitute the majority of the volume of the FX market. It makes little
sense to limit the earnings potential of the little guy.
