    Regualtion of Forex Retail
    It dismays me that you all are trying to kill the retail forex industry. First you dialed down the leverage to 100:,
    changed the way entry orders could be placed by taking protective stops away from the initial order, and now you
    want to bring the leverage down to 10:1.
    While making money in forex is difficult enough to pick the right trades to make money, if you take the leverage
    out
    of the equation you might as well put the nail in the coffin. Forex is the one avenue someone of little means
    has a shot at growing legitimate wealth, while risking very little capital. If you change leverage they will need more
    capital which they won't have. Subsequently hurting the common person and making this a rich man's game. Or
    is this meant to make the rich get richer?
    Are people doing retail complaining there is too much leverage? I don't think that's the case. Other than someone
    got the idea to do this, is there any logic or rational thought behind this?
