    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Hello,
    I am writing in regards to proposed rule-making associated
    with RIN 3038-AC61.
    While many provisions of the proposed rules may be valid and
    necessary, I strongly object to the proposed 10:1 leverage
    limitation in Forex trades.
    If this limitation is implemented, it will primarily serve
    to lock-out the small trader/investor from the Forex market
    -
    just as much larger minimum account balances served to
    lock-out small investors from the stock day-trading market
    several years ago.
    I urge you to drop this requirement - Forex traders should
    be able to choose the appropriate leverage ratio that fits
    their particular trading requirements and trading style.
    Thank you for your time and attention to my comments.
