Dear Sir or Madam,
Apparently CFTC is considering a proposal which radically lowers Forex leverage from 100:1 to 10:1 for all NFA and CFTC
regulated Forex firms. I am a full-time professional self-employed Forex trader. I am writing to you to raise my sincere
objection to such proposals as they will have devastating effects on my business.
If such limitations were to be imposed on the NFA and CFTC regulated Forex firms in the US, Forex traders like me are
forced to use non-regulated US firms or move their business out of the US. Either way, US Forex brokers are the first to
suffer in this tough economic situation.
I would urge you please not to consider such proposals and let the US based businesses and tax payers like me and my Forex
broker to deal with other challenges of the global markets.
Sincerely,
Behnam Behzadi
