I see no benefit in limiting leverage to 10:1 and quite frankly am confused as to why it is even
proposed. To protect the retail investor? People that educate themselves, perform their due
diligence and being responsible protect themselves on their own. This proposal to limit
leverage *hurts* the people who were responsible and understand the risks/rewards that
come with the retail spot FOREX market. The only people it protects are the ones who should
not be in the market to begin with. Thankfully FOREX is an international market, and in the
event this piece of legislature is passed I can take my money elsewhere to achieve the same
results I am getting now.
