    Regulation of Retail Forex - Please reconsider the maximum leverage change, this
    will kill the individual trader.

    Dear David
    I havejust read over the regulations the CFTC hasproposedfor retailforex
    traders. Please reconsider this agenda. I am an individual trader who has
    been forced to make a #ving through trading due to the downturn in the
    economy and loss of my job. I have been doing well trading, but the change
    in the maximum leverage wouM be detrimental to my trading. I wouM not be
    able to continue trading under my current strategies and wouM be unable to
    support my family of five. Please do not allow these regulations to pass
    (especially the maximum leverage regulation), this will kill the retail forex
    trader as a whole.
    Laws shouM not be created to protect people from themselves.
    Thank you for you time,
    Matthew Bauman
