    Regulation of Retail Forex
    OK SO I AM JUST EMAILING TO GIVE A LOOK INTO ,MY SITUATION. I AM 23
    YEARS OLD AND HAVE BEEN TRADING FOREX ON THE RETAIL SIDE FOR ABOUT
    A YEAR AND A HALF. I HAVE MADE SIGNIFICANT GAINS IN THAT PAST YEAR OR
    SO AND I AM HEAVILY OPPOSED TO THE NEW PROPOSED REGULATIONS ON
    LEVERAGE POWER. I REALIZE LEVERAGE CAN BE JUST AS HARMFUL AS IT IS
    HELPFUL, BUT FOR ME, STARTING MY ACCOUNT OUT WITH A MERE $2500.00 I
    WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REAP OVER A 100% PROFIT WITH THE
    PROPOSED NEW RULES. PEOPLE ARE MORE THAN ADEQUATELY WARNED OF
    THE DANGERS OF LEVERAGE ON EVERY FOREX SITE I HAVE BEEN TO. I AM JUST
    SAYING I AM SEVERELY OPPOSED TO THESE NEW REGULATIONS, AND I ALONG
    WITH ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WILL MOVE THEIR ACCOUNTS TO AN OFFSHORE
    BROKERAGE IF THESE NEW CHANGES TAKE AFFECT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
    TIME. - PETER MCMANUS
