    Regulation of retail forex
    Dear Sirs
    I currently use MB Trading in the US for forex trading in particular because of the spreads that they provide and
    the abvility to interact via there own software APIs, enabling me to 'black box' trade. This is no t something as a
    non professional trader I can do with any broker in the UK.
    With regard to the above additional ruling of reducing leverage to 1:10 from 1:100 I would find that the margin
    requirements with my limited cash funds that trading would no longer be feasible.
    Is it not down to the individual trader how much risk he is prepared to take and how much he is prepared to lose ?
    How can doing this prove to be beneficial to anyone ?
    Surely this is not the way to go and will certainly leave, as normal, the 'BIG BOYS' in total control .....
    Yours Sincerely
    Geoff Fuller
