    commenter comments: Dear Commissioner,
    This is to convey my disappointment in your efforts
    to keep the small retail trader out of the FOREX
    game!
    I understand and agree that companies/brokers
    engaged in collective trading should be required to
    maintain a minimum fund to cover any significant
    volumes of trading in excess of $10MM US.
    However, for the individual, sole traders, such as
    myself, if faced with the 10:1 minimum, which means
    that a single standard lot of $100,000 1 must have
    a minimum of $10,000 in my account; while currently
    this amount can be as little as $200! How does this
    "help" small retail traders? This is a death blow
    to our ability to trade on a small scale which
    seems unwarranted and unfair! Aren't you supposed
    to provide a safe environment for even the small
    trader, and not kick us out of the game!
    Sincerely,
    Robert Maze
