Regulation of Retail Forex
Hello "Commodity Futures Trading Commision" (CFTC)...
I am a 61 yr old US citizen with a family who trades Forex for a living & for life! I also Coach & Mentor over
200 Forex Traders in the greater Boston MA area and I speak for them also.
Your proposal to soon change Margin from 100:1 to 10:1 would require all of us to have 10 TIMES as
much money in our accts to make the same money we are making now! This would cause an extreme
HARDSHIP on all of us and is NOT necessary in any way. You will be receiving many many more emails on this
from all of us and others.
Please DO NOT pass or enact this change, email confirm that you rec'd this & put me on your emailing list.
Thank you .... Eric Eklof

PS...we have FX mtgs every Thurs night at MIT in Boston so please come to hear our feelings on this
BEFORE your 60 day deadline and BEFORE you act on this matter that is so important to all of us earning a
living trading FX, which I don't believe any of you do?
