    Regulation of Retail Forex
    ID # RIN 3038-AC61
    The proposal to reduce the maximum leverage limit from 100:1
    down to 10:1 is definitely NOT welcome news to small
    investors like myself. The increased margin requirement
    will force me out of Forex trading altogether, as it will
    for many small investors. If your goal is to destroy the
    small investor, then this proposed regulation will most
    certainly succeed in that goal.
    This is just one more example of government agencies
    sticking their noses into things that should be left to free
    market conditions. But what else would I expect, given the
    present administration? Not that my voice will be heard,
    but that's my honest assessment of this over-zealous and
    disastrous proposal in regulation.
