    Regulating Forex
    To whom this may concern,
    I understand that there is currently talk of enacting regulations geared toward the retail Forex industry
    here in the United States. I believe that it is necessary to have regulations in order to protect the
    consumer. However, I do not see how changing the leverage limits to 10:1 is helping the consumer. If
    anything, I see this as a way to keep people out of the market and eventually destroying the amount of
    business for the US and giving it to other nations. If this is enacted, I will probably go ahead and move
    my account overseas. It would be much better for me and the US if I kept my account here in the US so
    please do not mess with the current leverages offered.
    Thank you for listening.
