    'Regulation of Retail Forex' RIN 3038-AC61
    Dear Sir, Madam,
    As part of the proposed regulations, it is stated: "leverage in retail forex customer accounts would be
    subject to a 10-to-1 limitation," which means 10:1 leverage would be the maximum amount allowed for
    all Forex traders in the U.S. (RIN 3038-AC61 )
    I stand behind the belief that I should be given the freedom and right to choose the amount of leverage
    that is appropriate for my individual desired risk, and that this basic principle of 'choice' is in jeopardy
    by the proposed CFTC regulations.
    All this will do is make me close my account and move it to Europe, where I can enjoy more freedom of
    choice.
    regards
    Shane Thompson
