    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Dear Sirs,
    I have learnt CFTC's proposal about lowering the leverage for retail forex accounts from 1:100 to 1:10. I
    believe, this will not be in favor of small investors, who try to acquire some earnings with limited
    investment. It will also lead to a rush to other countries for opening such accounts and lower the
    transaction volume significantly. Therefore, the broker companies will also be negatively influenced
    from such a regulation and their contribution to US economy will drop considerably.
    I would like CFTC to withdraw its proposal on this matter.
    Best Regards,
    Ahmet AK1NSOY
