    Regulation of retail forex
    Good morning,
    I'm writing to voice my concern about proposed regulation RIN 3038-AC61.
    I am a successful retail forex trader and have multiple accounts with brokers located in the USA as well as the UK.
    US regulation that reduces my leverage option to 10:1 will make it impossible for me to trade with US brokers. My only
    option - shared by a number of other traders I know - will be to close my US accounts and continue to trade with other
    brokers outside the USA. While I am willing to do this, I am concerned about the overall impact that this will have on the
    economy.
    I fail to understand the benefits of this regulation to traders other than large financial institutions, many of whom I suspect
    will also utilize offshore options should this proposed regulation become law.
    Sincerely,
    William Archer
