    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Dear Secretary of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission:
    I am writing to provide comments regarding the proposed rule change
    about the regulation of retail forex. Further, I was told to include
    the following RIN 3038-AC61 in the body of my email. I would like to
    comment on the proposed change maximum leverage requirements from
    100:1 to 10:1. I think the proposed change in leverage greatly
    diminishes the activity of foreign exchange trading. It is well known
    that the practice of foreign exchange trading is a risky trade,
    however, individuals should be able to monitor their own funds and
    protect their account balances to tailor their own risk assessment and
    trading philosophy. Putting a maximum leverage requirement of 10:1
    greatly diminishes the free choice of the individual in terms of
    running his own account. Thank you for your time.
    Regards,
    Jeremiah Kline
