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.
