    Regulation of Retail Forex
    RIN 3038-AC61
    Hi,
    I would like to express my concerns over the proposed changes to leverage in the Forex markets. As a person who is trying to break into the Forex markets, this change is
    very distressing to me as a US Citizen. I am working to gather $10,000 to start a proper Forex account so I may trade in the markets. Under the conditions of 10:1 trading, this
    would severely limit my abilities to make any significant trades in the markets. I can understand the change from 200:1 to 100:1, but 10:1 seems a bit extreme considering the
    capital required to start any sort of investing. Honestly, it seems more like a wall to the common man entering the markets versus a protection from harm. Please, do not change
    the regulations concerning leverage, 100:1 works fine now and will continue to work. Thank you for your time,
    Ben Woolston
