    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Greetings:
    As an individual trader of forex, I strongly object to the proposal to reduce margin requirements for trading from
    100:1 down to 10:1. I can understand if the 10:1 margin requirement is imposed upon banks and other financial
    institutions, but not on private individual traders. Otherwise I can see much private capital leaving the USA and
    being traded via foreign based brokers.
    Identification number RIN 3038-AC61
    Yours truly,
    Robert J Patterson
