    Hi there,
    I would like to voice my opinion to you about the subject of you changing the leverage for Retail accounts
    with
    U.S brokerages from 100:1 to 10:1.
    If you go ahead with this not only will you lose your country money with customers going offshore, you
    will also
    damage the reputation of the forex trading industry as a whole which is regarded as the fastest growing
    industry at the
    moment. I am sure you will get many emails like this but it will not effect me as I do not live in the United
    States.
    So:
    1.You will look ridiculous when U.S clients leave in droves.
    2.Your country as a whole will lose heavily from the much needed income that currency trading can
    provide for a countrys economy.
    3.Offshore brokers and their countrys will profit even more.
    Take this as a warning,
    Regards
    R.Kerr
