    Regulation of Retail Forex
    To whom it may concern,
    I'm writing in response to RIN 3038-AC6, about the proposed regulation
    of maximum leverage in retail forex trading. I believe that the
    proposed margin limitations will either hurt small investors, or force
    them to open accounts with foreign brokers. I can understand wanting
    to limit some of the brokers that offer 500:1 leverage, but reducing
    the leverage maximum to 10:1 is too low. I believe 100:1 would be a
    better choice. Still high enough to be competitive with foreign
    brokers, and still much safer than the 500:1 some broker advertise.
    Thank you for your time,
    Curt Larson
