    I am writing to register my dissatisfaction with the proposed rule RIN 3038-AC61
    limiting
    leverage.
    []I believe that traders should be able to decide for themselves what level of leverage is appropriate.
    Under certain circumstances (for example a carry trade), leverage is the only mechanism that makes it
    work.
    If the CFTC goes ahead with this rule, adding to the other horrible rule CFTC rule implemented last year
    eliminating hedging, then retail traders will take their business offshore. The CFTC is removing
    necessary tools from the traders kit. Please stop.
    What is needed is more monitoring of disreputable brokers, not the traders themselves.
