CFTC Seeks Public Comment on Proposed
Regulations Regarding Retail FOREX
Transactions
"Leverage in retail forex customer accounts would be subject to a 10-to-1 limitation"
This rule would be a severe handicap for retail customers like me and would unnecessarily prevent small account
holders from trading. I currently have my leverage set to 500:1. This in no way increases my risk, it just gives me
greater flexibility and allows me to have more positions open at a time.
