    Reference: RIN 3038-AC61
    The recent increase in margin requirements from 200:1 to 100:1 for FOREX accounts is sufficient.
    Further increasing margin requirements will make FOREX trading through CFTC regulated accounts
    unprofitable. By adopting ANY increase in leverage requirements the CFTC will regulate itself out of
    responsibility for FOREX trading. Trading will move to overseas accounts.
