    Regulation of Retail Forex
    RIN 3038-AC61
    With regards to the above new proposed regulation to change the leverage requirements from 100:1 to
    10:1
    I feel this is an unnecessary regulation and will hurt the forex market in general. Currently the changes
    to limit the maximum leverage to 100:1 was most welcomed and helped to remove would be gamblers
    or high rollers from the forex market.
    Please leave the maximum leverage at 100:1 as this is good enough to keep a reasonable margin in the
    forex trader's accounts. For lower leverage like 50:1 to 25:1, you can leave that to the banks to provide
    this choice to their customers instead of imposing a new regulation.
    Thank you for reading.
