    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Dear David Stanwick
    Secretary CFTC,
    As an individual commodity producer I sometimes use Forex pairs to hedge against outside
    influences affecting the commodities that I produce. A maj or reason is the unparalleled liquidity the
    Forex market provides.
    It is my opinion that changing leverage requirements from 100:1 to 10:1 would damage the retail
    forex market. I believe the move adversely affects liquidity and dicourages small scale U.S. traders from
    using the Forex markets as a hedging tool.
    Oppressed,
    Andrew B House
