    'Regulation of Retail Forex
    Re: identification number RIN 3038-AC61
    I hereby wish to submit my comments on the proposed change of leverage for retail forex customers to 10 to 1. I feel that the
    government is intruding too far into my personal business by taking this step. I feel that it should be up to me to determine
    the risk level that I am willing to take.
    I am a small trader that is trying to improve my skills in forex trading and have spent a consider amount for training in this
    area. Today I completed a course in making proper forex trades. I have been trading forex for several years and have
    managed my account to minimize losses by controlling the size of my orders. I never risk more than 2% of my account value
    on any trade (usually less) and always use a stop loss.
    I request the the CFTC reject the proposed change to a 10 to 1 limit on leverage for retail forex accounts.
