    Regulation Of Retail Forex
    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I refer to your proposed changes per RIN 3038-AC61 which seeks to reduce
    the maximum leverage from 100:1 to 10:1. This was only after a short
    period after the reduction of leverage from 200:1 to 100:1.
    Many retail traders trade forex for a living or to earn extra money to
    tide them over difficult times, such as now. Imposing additional
    barriers such as your proposal attempts to "take" these people out and
    appear to benefit large organizations who can meet the larger capital
    requirements.
    If your proposal were to be passed, I for one will move my account from
    a US broker to a non-US broker.
    Please do not make it difficult for knowledgeable retail traders to make
    a little money.
    Thank you for NOT proceeding with this proposal.
    Regards,
    Frederick
