    Hi
    I've been trading for 4 years now and never over leveraged.I try and keep my % risk per trade as small
    as possible to manage risks.I'm a full-time trader and have enough capital to go on as it is now.
    However iff the leverage would change from 100:1 to 10:1 I will have to risk far more per trade and don't
    know iff it will be possible(mentally).l would then have to withdraw my capital and seek other bussiness
    oportunities.
    Why can't they just change it to 50:1 ?After all they just changed it from 400:1 to 100:1 last year.
    I still want to be a trader but this changes will make it almost impossible!!!!.l think that the mojority off
    people would withdraw their funds and even more jobs would be lost.
    Thank you
