    proposed 10:1 leverage
    Hello CFTC, I thought the reason we have the CFTC was to provide a safe environment for
    retail forex traders to trade in, so instead the CFTC proposes to
    change the leverage in retail forex customer accounts to a 10-to-1 limitation.
    Unbelieveable! Instead of putting your efforts into controlling and preventing U.S Forex
    Brokers from dishonest practice of customer accounts you decide that its best to drive most
    forex retail traders right out of the business. FYI, all forex retail traders are in this business
    because of the current leverage. You are turning forex retail trading into a one tier system, a
    system that is only for those which are financially stable enough to risk huge account
    sizes with a forex broker. ! personally have spent alot of my money over the last year to
    learn this business and was just starting out in this
    business with intentions of growing this business and now you aim to drive me right out of
    business. Please reconsider your proposal and leave well enough alone.
    Thank-you.
