    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Secretary David Stawich
    I have been made aware that your office is seeking comment on the proposed regulations concerning
    retail forex trading (ID# RIN 3038-AC61). In particular, I am referencing the "10-to-
    limitation."
    This limitation, in my opinion, would be a great restraint to many people
    who through many hours of hard work and study have learned to control, and use
    100:1
    leverage
    to make their
    living.
    I am one of those
    people,
    sir.
    I am currently a full time student, studying for a double major. Fall 2010 I will
    receive a B.S. Business, and B.S. Geology degrees. Forex provides me an income,
    allowing me spend more time studying. Limiting my leverage to only 10:1 would be
    a DRASTIC setback to me, and my financial future, as growing my account now is
    critical.
    I do not support the proposed regulations for further forex regulation.
    Sincerely,
    Heston W. Williams
