    RE: Comments on the proposed regulations concerning retail forex trading
    Max leverage under current regulations
    100:1 leverage (one percent)
    1
    lot (100,000)
    Margin requirement: $1,000
    Max leverage under proposed changes
    10:1 leverage (10 percent)
    1 lot (100,000)
    Margin requirement: $10,000
    I am absolutely and completely opposed to your proposed changes! As a forex trader, I
    should have the right to choose the amount of leverage that I deem appropriate for my risk
    appetite. These new regulations directly threaten my ability to make money in the forex
    market.
    I was upset when you changed the leverage from 200:1 to 100:1.
    A further downgrade in leverge change is unacceptable!
