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
