    Regulation of Retail Forex
    Dear CFTC staff members, While I welcome your regulatory role in making sure forex brokers are
    honest, transparent, and have enough operating capital, I disagree with your proposed 10:1 leverage rule.
    I think that the decision should be left up to the individual forex traders. They are supposed to be using
    risk capital for their trading anyway.. Personally, I have an Oanda account and use 50:1 leverage, which
    is just right for my risk tolerance. If your proposed 10:1 leverage proposal turns into law, that would
    really ruin my trading syle, which I have been working on for so long. Also, I do not really want to have
    to open a forex account in a foreign country such as the U.K. Thank you for your consideration.
    Sincerely, Robert Miller
