    The proposal to reduce foreign exchange leverage to a maximum of 10:1 would be an absolute disaster for me. I lost my job
    last April, I'm 57 years old, have little prospect of finding gainful employment again and will soon have a child going to college.
    I have been able to make a living trading foreign exchange with a 100:1 ratio but could not do so with this restriction.
    Please give people a choice of leverage. Don't force us into something untenable.
    (Note: I emailed you a bit earlier on this subject but was in such a hurry that I neglected the reference number and the correct
    subject line.)
