    Regulation of Retail Forex - RIN 3038-AC61
    To: CFTC Secretary
    -- I am a Forex trader planning on trading Forex full-time soon and I believe the proposed changes, particularly
    reducing maximum leverage to 10:1 is an excellent idea. Trading Forex in the U.S. is akin to gambling with
    leverage above 10:1 and major financial institutions do not use such insane leverage amounts like 100:1
    so making this kind of leverage available to retail FX traders is ridiculous
    -- Long and short, please implement all of the proposed retail FX changes ASAP to protect people from themselves
    Retail Forex trading in U.S. should be a business and treated as such, FX isn't a gambling venue like Vegas
    Best Regards,
    Levi Mcleod
