    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Please Leave Leverage at 100:1
    I'm an active Forex Trader and strongly object to the proposals to reduce Forex Leverage from 100:1 to
    10:1 for all NFA and CTC regulated firms.
    This portion of the regulation would effectively put US traders at a SEVERE DISADVANTAGE
    against global traders, and force many of our accounts offshore into unregulated areas.
    This business is NOT like commodities. There are
    no margin calls to drive a trader into huge debt. If the
    trade goes
    insanely wrong, the trader's position is simply closed out.
    Thank you,
    Dave Friedholm
